I'm ready to make a change finally, obviously the two vary highly in cost, but have any of you either purchased either of the two? Feedbabck comments on either? I'm torn, so lets pretend money is not an issue, moreover the product and the endresult.

Hello;
I don't know what you have for carb(s) now but the low rider style of your car "screams out" for TRI POWER!!! (just my opinion)

That would be my first reaction too. It's what I have in mind for my mill someday. But I have to admit dual quads are killer on a big W-block.

I have the same dual quad setup on my 409. Runs great. Large brake booster to the front carb vacuum port and the road draft tube converted over to a PVC connected to the rear carb. Idle is consistent. Seems to have no vacuum realted issues. I do have a crankcase pressure issue where it wants to push the oil fill cap up if I step on it a little. You can see how it tilts up in the pics.

Jim, that's one good looking 409!
I don't think it is internal pressure forcing the cap up. I have the very same aftermarket cap on my 327 and it does the same thing. I beleive it is the fault of the spring clip failing to keep the cap in place.
