Ford Mustang: C8 302 heads

Open.

My $0.02 on Holley carbs, had three leak fuel new out of box, have another that
dribbles fuel off of the sec. throttle shaft onto the manifold and can't be
repaired.
Drop a bowl to rejet and plan on new gaskets after you razor blade off whats
left of the old one and then mop up the mess.
EDLs are the way to go. No leaks, easy to tune and more torque and economy.

Why are you running a RPM airgap on the small port 68 heads??? The port
mismatch has to cause some serious disruption to airflow.

Are you sure yours was brand new? I recently bought a brand new 750 double
pumper with 4 corner idle adjustment, and it came with the blue non-stick
gaskets, and had no problems with it leaking any where. As for changing
jets, that's why I put a little can under one corner before I take out a
bottom screw, to catch the fuel. Those little cans that chip dip comes in
works nicely for that. Besides, there is so much more you can do with a
Holley carb that you can't with a Eldebrock carb.

Because I already had them and they had a been recently rebuilt with
hardened seats. Figured I might as well use them and save up for something
better. And I didn't feel like plunkin' down over a grand for the aluminum
RPM heads after dropping 2 grand for the longblock. I've been thinking of
going with C9 351W heads. I was told that maybe the valves would be too big
and drop the velocity going into the motor too much to make power. Another
suggestion was to find some C6 289 heads and go with those. Again a cheaper
fix. I don't have to have aluminum heads as I'm not looking for a screamer
on the roads, just don't want the riceboys passing me. I got the RPM airgap
because the price was right at the right time and my other option was a
2bbl 302 intake from '70, not.
