Hi Brett instead of stealing Sneezy's thread I thought I would bring this over here.
That heater tap has an ECU will it only run with the Vintage Air unit or could I just ditch the ECU and run an open or closed switch on the water tap.
Looks good value and might solve some problems but maybe need to simplify it

Yes Vintage Air has a thermostat controller. The other one looks just to be on/ off so may be a better bet. I suspect you can run the VA unit without the fancy stuff as an on/off but probably better buying the cheaper one if you go that way. Either way there are a few options out there on the web for electric taps.
That's what they are for the tray in my ute hasn't been completely empty in years ......
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Tripples are sold and heading to an LC XU1 in Sydney I believe. Still have the LJ XU1 manifold and CD175s but they need a lot of work.
The WW has proven to be a great carburetor and with very little tinkering has worked very well.
Now it's Holley's turn. First try out of the box and motor was awash with fuel. With Harv's suggestions on main jetting and power valves it's now a different story. Good running now and I can instantly feel the difference from the WW's capacity ( 280cfm I think) and the Holley's 350cfm. Will see how it goes longer term.
The firewall indent is telling me it needs tripples to be happy, but not happening at the moment....
I'm not sure Clay. I ended up with 4 of them. The one I put some effort into and used had a manual choke. Definitely your manifold though. Having troubles now with the 350 being too lean on the road. Consulting Harv.

Something is wrong with me ! Every car i have owned, it has been tested and tortured to get the best and the most power, a man just can't sit still !
Grey motors are a gateway drug to high performance shenanigans.
