I've never noticed my original speedometer has the small zero's for a 74 . My 140 quit working for some unknown reason , so put the original back in till I can get the 140 repaired locally . So now I'll have to hear about my car having an incorrect speedo at shows again . For some reason everyone goes straight to the dash to check , then to see if I have a 440 .

Yes but not the greatest . Its running about the same before i tore it out . Must be the carb , was thinking about getting a rebuild kit but maybe just another one . Mancini has a 800 edelbrock and ill rebuild my 750 for my malibu . Would like to replace all the ignition with a msd distributor and a 6al 2 box but no deniro $$$$ . www.manciniracing.com/free_flyer/pdf/MRE%20Summer%2013.pdf

I hear you there. Want to get an msd setup too, but very pricey$$. I did like it though on the old newport, even if it is a little overkill. Why not throw a thermoquad on it? Pain to set up, but once they are their great carbs. They give a great sound as well imo
