It still won't run 140-160

That's sort of where the trouble began. We converted from a Weber set-up to SUs. It ran ok with the Weber (ok, not great). The SUs have been re-bushed and are in good shape. As far as synchronizing, the best I can do at this point is a rough setting intended to get us going.

Another bit of info - it has a Crane ignition which was put in before the carb conversion and it was doing well. Monday I'll check to see if it's functioning properly and check out the things you and others have suggested. The Crane system could have gotten bumped with all the stuff we've done - tranny conversion, carb conversion, timing gear, push rods and lifters, setting valve clearances (maybe that's all, I can't remember).

Thanks, guys. if there's any other info or other suggestions, I'll appreciate it.

Jim Hampton
