Summit Racing has those wires, about 100 bucks I think. I bought the Holley 4150 Vacuum Secondary 750Cfm. I did some calculating for my engine size and max RPM to put me in the ball park. Runs great with this carb......8)

I just drove it 160 miles this weekend.....didn't do as bad on fuel as I thought it would. Right now it has 3.08 gears and 50 series tires in back which equates to about a 3.23 gear ratio I think.

Divorce sucks but at least your truck won't divorce you.
