Hello from Florida.
I’m pretty much over the feedback carb monstrosity. Cant get the thing to work. So i’m going to roll back to an 83 distributor, add a coil, put on a manifold, and stick a 4 barrel on this. Likely to go manual choke, as i use one on an airplane and have lots of experience with it.

Parts being considered:

i will need a wiring harness and some mounting hardware. What else is recommended?

 

Sounds like you've got it all covered. Filters and gaskets. And a regulator

 

I have assembled the Offenhauser dual port intake, a Quick Fuel 450 4 barrel carb, coil, dizzy, and Duraspark 2 module.

a few questions.

Where can i find the bolts and studs? I tried Summit. I found grade 8 studs at another place, but read warnings on them. Who has great solid hardened hardware?

Does the stock exhaust manifold take a gasket? My old manual shows intake gasket, not exhaust.

The stock manifolds bolt together. I assume the Offenhauser will not bolt to the exhaust. Right?

Can the stock tach be fed from the new coil? Power? New tach?

On the stock exhaust manifold to exhaust, there is a round gasket. Any clue what part this is or where to get it.

I am committed to finish this, and will post pics.

Thanks for all help.

 

Found the exhaust manifold and flange gaskets at Advance Auto. Looking for bolts next.

 

Sniffing other forums, found this:

Google: Hillco Fastener Warehouse,inc. I think you can buy online and have shipped.

You need 14 of each of these: AV09686 3/8-1 SAE 3/8-5/8 USS X 2 overall *(I like to use the 2 1/8" studs if they have them.

838024GC 3/8-24 Grade C Locknut

Coat the coarse threads with anti sieze compound. Get two 3/8 X 24 nuts, screw them on the fine thread end and torque a bit against each other. Then insert into head and tighten with open end wrench 20 lbs torque, approx. Put an open end wrench on each nut, and remove nuts. Repeat 14 x.

Use Mr. Gasket #260 int/exh gasket.

i just ordered them. Number 8 grade studs, all 14, washers and lock nuts, $32 plus shipping.

 

I found out the 5/16 washers are too small. Went 3/8.
