At least on the hotwire setup, if you remove the water heater under the throttle you need to ensure the two holes in the left side of this picture are plugged up - as they go direct into the manifold and cause an air leak which causes rough running. http://www.mez.co.uk/wpimages/wp6b8b3620_05_06.jpg

I've been over to a rolling road in Doncaster DN12 2AQ, chap named John Sleath. He is conversant with the weber, and has all the tuning kit, control rods jets etc. Yes John is reputable - give him a buzz first though to make sure he's familiar with the Edelbrock carbs, would be suprised if he's not.

I happen to have Gems and Hotwire plenums at the moment (I sell bored out 72mm plenums) - they are the same height, but the gems is more square. Here's a photo of them side by side: https://www.flickr.com/photos/143693446@N03/34204513711/ The manifold base is the same. The hotwire plenum will work o...

Thor manifold will give you more low end torque - given you said you fitted a towing cam, i assume you are 4x4 ? Which would suit this manifold. I believe you can fit the hotwire fuel rail to the thor manifold - or simply modify the existing thor rail and plumb in a 3bar FPR on the dead end and conv...
