Your car being from D-1 I would say Joe Scott

Thanks guys.

Look on the bottom of the throttle plate - If a Joe Scott piece, will be vibra penciled with Scott on the bottom and also the rear (with a number). Last one I worked on was #72 (that was probably at least 30+ yrs old) and also had a brazed secondary lever so all four throttle blades opened at the same time.

Thanks I'll check when it comes off. Don't think it's been apart in a while, seems ok WOT but loads up at idle a bit. I'll go through it or send it to someone.

Also as an addendum, no the fuel system is probably not ideal (blue pump and holley regulator, deadhead) but the pressure is turned down to 5 to eliminate that as the rich condition.
