You got that right D!

I threw away a Holley 850 double pumper about 6 months ago. Couldn't find anyone that wanted it. It would have been yours for the askin Paintman.

I'll see if i have a vac secondary 750....will let you know.....most RAGchesters were either a 730 or and 840.....so...a 750 would do OK. Is that a Performer series intake? IOf so, try to find a Carter AFB.....easy jet changes and adjustments.....

I think those are Edelbrock Carters.....good carbs...easy to tune....you should have good low to mid range ....

2.73??? I don't believe there is such a critter. More likely a 3.73, 3.05 is the tallest gear I believe Chevy ever put out....or anyone for that matter.
