Just a word of caution. My radio kept blowing a fuse when I would depress the clutch. What I finally found was that,, the wiring harness that tucks up next to the clutch pedal lever had been hanging a little too close to the clutch arm & was getting rubbed thru. Eventually, it caused a short when the clutch went past. I tied the harness up & away & no more problem.

Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!
More important, did it play a specfic song coming off the line, or shifting? Or did the base notes increase torque?

Sorry, I couldn't resist |bouncy|

I haven't pushed it yet. I'm still trying to get the 750 doublepumper tweaked w/out much luck. I'm gonna try the metering kit from Edelbrock & see what happens with some different jets & rods.
