I'm the same height as Xcudame and the seat in my 70 Cuda (and the one before this one) goes back far enough for me. I would pull the seat out and see what's going on with the track for that seat.
If you're talking about the radiator overflow tank, I have a 1 quart with my 5.7 hemi. I live in the desert southwest and the 1 quart tank has always worked for me.
Yup, I have a friend that is a paint and body guy and the shop he works at used to use Sherwin Williams. I don't know if they still do, but whenever I see him I give him a hard time about painting cars with house paint! :rofl:
I've been messing with carbs since 1970. I worked as a professional mechanic (back before they were called service techs) and I have always done my own carb tuning. I will agree that the Holley carbs have a lot more tuning capability but I wouldn't run one on a street engine if you gave it to...
