Nice addition Pops. I've been intrigued by that setup for some time, looks cool, hope it works well. I vote for painting the insides of the scoops to match the block. You need a chrome grommet cover for that PCV setup, if you can't find one I'll send you one. I know you like bling!
Another voice on the Wilson hubs thing, I've had two sets and both took the seals just fine, so I agree, must have been a bad hair day on those undersize ones.
The Lokar bracket is a nice piece, works well.
I'll be interested to hear if the carbs were set well out of the box. I just got a complete setup from Price today. It's a little showier than I normally do with the chrome plated carb bodies, but he was selling the whole deal at 50% off, so you take what you can get. The workmanship on this is first rate, and the linkage/throttle shafts work very smoothly.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

Wow, that's too nice to put on a car Bob.
Vintage Speed must be feeling the economy a little because they came down $ 200 bucks on the setup I bought and I wasn't even haggling........just standing there fondling their chrome goodies. I couldn't pass it up, and the carbs even have the right bases on them, one has idle screws and the other doesn't. Like you, I am really impressed with the quality of the linkage, carbs, fuel line, etc. You have to catch him at a show because you walk home with your stuff and the prices seem to drop a little.
Whatcha putting that sweet setup on Bob? It's about time you posted some progress pictures of your own........we always see those great cars in the background, but you are the Howard Hughes of hot rodding...........very secretive.
