Hi Rich:- Good to hear from you I'll try to give the answers in the order of the questions. In Canada ethanol gas is the norm I'm running PetroCanada [Sunoco] 94. Edelbrock aluminum heads are used with the plugs recommended by them last year I had a tuneup done at my GM dealer by their Vette specialist and GM corresponding plug was installed also Msd 6al total ignition box, msd distributator and coil. The timing is back to 36 total advance at 3000. The reason I'm going towards the pump the orginal motor before rebuild was 200hp with probably a 650 Quadrajet, the pump was 70gal/hr at 7-8and a half lbs. Edelbrock is recommending 110 gal/hr at 6lbs. My engine with all the goodies matchs up to GM's fast burn 385 and the pump its running is 110 gal/hr at 7lbs. The car came out of Florida so it has the emissions control. The canister was used on 1970 - 1980 models. The shop that done the machineing and assembly included this Holley pump which was to large to fit a friend of mine to run this pump had to rework his frame. The ping is more noticeable in the hot weather. Garry

Joel and Rich if you check the books different pumps were used on say on the Lt1 and the base engines. One last tidbit I'm running 10.13 compression. The car is currently in storage as winter is setting into the great white north Canada and this the time we use to plan and gather the parts for next years projects. Merry Xmas to all Save the wave and thanks for all your help. Garry
Last year I had some significant upgrades done to my L48, 350. Installed Edelbrock E-Street aluminum heads; Holley 770-cfm Street Avenger carb; Patriot tight-tuck headers; Comp Cam hudraulic roller cam; Cyclone-plus dual intake manifold. CR now measures 9.7:1.
