Thanks guys. From a practical standpoint I have to say the two carb setup isn't as smooth as the single Edelbrock I had on it for the past year. But they really aren't too bad either. I think I am getting more used to the power curve. They also have a sucking sound, probably because I have the scoops aimed right at my head, but I do like the view from the drivers seat.I think they and the pinstriping changed the complexion of the car a little, and I am glad I did them both.
Skratch is an amazing pinstriper/ fabricator/ painter/ etc/etc. It was a real treat to watch him pinstriping my T and Dons T at Turkey Run. I would be nervous as h*** if someone were to watch me work, but he actually thrives on people hanging over his shoulder as he lays down lines. He goes out of his way to talk to fans while doing it, and especially takes the time to talk to young kids who are interested in what he is doing. His Girlfriend is also pretty hot.In fact she came up and talked with him for a while, and when she left he said to some young kid there, "see what you get if you are a good boy?" Skratch must have been a VERY good boy.
He is also one very nice guy.
Here are some pictures of the carbs and Skratch's handy work.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
