Don't you two have jobs, just kidding. I took the valve cover off and they are Edelbrock and the number I believe was 6800. I am meeting with my buddy this weekend to finish tuning it. I believe I have it pretty good right now. I adjusted my carb with the vacuum meter attached and my peak was around 14 so I left it there. I timed it at 15 initial and 35 total. The only thing I didnt really look into is the fuel pressure, I will have him check that this weekend. I am also going to have him check all my vacuum lines to make sure they are going where they need to be. I also took my car to a scale and it weights 3420 without anything taken out. I hope to get the final tune done this weekend and then run it again in the next couple of weeks. Thanks again for all the help.

i looked on there site that model number doesnt come up but there is a pair with a similar number and the flow numbers look good for them. what tire are you going to run at the track?

I think I am going to run my same tires my first time back, so I can see if it is running better than last time. I think if I go with different tires my first time back out that I will still be wondering if the change is from the tires or the tuning. I will keep you guys updated.
