    Backfiring on decel

    Wont know for jet size until you hook up a wide band. More important are timing adjustment, this might also be the cure for your exhaust backfires on decel. Vacuum advance could help with that. Something is definately inefficient if your exhaust fills up with gas

    Hi prairierodder, I also built my own 9". I am curious about the pinion angle you got with those upper control arm mounts. I had to cut mine and reweld before i got a satisfying 2.5deg. mine sit lower and maybe farther foward. I am using stock control arms. And what brakes are you running? I...

    Speedometer cable problem

    Try unpluging different parts while spinning your driveshaft. If everything spins with the drive shaft your problem at the gauge cluster. If nothing spins its your transmission speed sender. Or where ever it stops spinning will be the problem

    Where is the best place for wires to go through the firewall

    I passed my wires thru the unused pins in the main harness bulkhead, if you dont have the factory terminals you can get by with regular male/female wire terminals but you wont have the tab to hold them in place.

    Vortec headers

    Vortecs have square exhaust ports but all sbc headers will bolt up. And yes you need a vortec specific intake manifold. Jegs has a decent dual plane for 130$. Make sure you have a coolant bypass from the intake to the water pump IF you don't have a heater

    Ignition timing & vac reading

    Hi, first 15" of vacuum is great! Basically you Will want as Much vac as you can get from tour initial timing. Factory is 8deg on a sbc. But depending on your setup initial timing could be anywhere from 10 to 20. So you need to set intial timing where the vaccum reading is highest.
