55 chevy mistake?
i bought a 55 chevy 2 dr post some years back as a project. idea was to build a gasser, my friend in high school had one, vista ca 1977-1979 good ol times... i just got around to this project and found that the front end looks like it has a 70's model gm frontend. never have seen one done, heard about them... what do i look for to see if it was a good job or just a hack job... would it be better to find a stock frame.... i know putting a straight axle under this fronend is out of the question or is it... i was going to buy a setup from speedworks....if the frame that is under there now is ok i will run what i got.... thanks55 chevy

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
