tommy, I agree with you. I'm going to drill a hole below one of the primary carbs in the intake. I've talked to a couple of Buick guys and they...
Thanks for the responses. I'm guessing since I'm running progressive linkage I'll want to be under the throttle plate of one of the primary carbs.
I'm running a stock vacuum advance distributor on my 401 nailhead. I'm also running a Weind Drag Star log manifold with 6- 97's. Where do I pick...

Yes, just what I was looking for. Thanks

Thanks for the info. Are the pulleys for all nailheads interchangable?
I have a 401 Nailhead that currently has 3 groove pulleys. Does anyone know if a 1 groove pulley was ever available either factory or aftermarket?
I made mine recently, pretty simple and not worth the hassle of trying to find.
