My 72 is now a four barrel 350 it runs fine on 87 octane gas with a little timming change -
needs bigger carb before tune up so he can tune the carb to the motor. the white smoke sounds like a head gasket is seeping at worm conditions. after it sets take out the plugs more than likely find a plug wet

I did not have to convert mine from R12. Last year before the eastern meet I put 134A in it ranit in for the meet come home evacuated it . Put 401 in it. it is a direct change over from R12. It pays to have friends in industrial A/C Biz. It lasted to the end of the year till it went in the body shop

I personaly would not drill out the wheel because they are stamped steel and made for the lug nuts to set in. The drum I have honed out with no problem.

Jet Performance has a carb that is a direct replacement for the Q jet. When I changed mine over to a four barrel I used one. the one I have has up to 825 cfm. More than I will ever need. Out of the box on the car started up great. only ajusting I did was the fast idle

I have two very straight bumpers and they are in need of rechrome. would you get after market or try to find a rechrome place. not any around where I live so they would have to be shipped.

in some cases if you have a bad bulb it will make it flash faster.front or rear.

I had mine out twice still does not work quite right. I could only find a used one but try Leo (konic Klassic) to see if they make new You are lucky it is nickels and dimes. mine is hundred and hundred and hundreds

yes Sam is well grounded but check your front and rear bulbs to see if any have bad grounds or blown. that was my problem
-
great job. is mine next?

they are not hard at all. put car on jack stands put a wide board on the floor jack under the oil pan. put small amount of presure on jack. remove through bolts. raise the motor up gently watching the distributor cap. remove bolts off motor. repeet in reverse to install

Sam is correct. 1 inch will work and not hit any vital parts
-
I had the same problem. found the hose that is on the top of the tank was cracked
