Get the torquer all cleaned up and put it on e-bay... 100% profit, and it'll probably go to some hard core rat rodder who'll pay 150 for it.

EDIT
Must be the dislexia kickin in... I coulda SWORE he said it was a 305
I still say go that route if it's a stock engine... maybe a performer RPM, but the air gap is one step away from a gimick IMO.

I was planning on using a performer air gap on my 383, they aren’t any good? I planning on using a newer style Q-Jet with elec. choke.
Thanks,
