Dave,

Thanks for all the answers. If you will bear with me, I have some follow-up questions (I am seeking advice from you):

1. Tom Langdon said that the C-W electric chokes would work with a 6v system. The C-W documentation says it must be a 12v lead. Do you think I will be OK with a 6v lead to the chokes?

2. Do you think I would be OK picking up my 6v feed at the "in post" on the coil?

3. Did you hook up a manual throttle? I do not plan to do so but might try it, if you were successful.

4. Is the plumbing for your vacuum advance shown in one of your photos? I think I will run one line from each carb to a tee, and then one line back to a standard vacuum advance. It appears that it does not matter which of the two vacuum ports on a carb is used for this purpose?

I am working on a 1960 261 and the bell-crank is closer to the pedal than on the 235. I'm now fiddling with combinations of pedal rods, bell-cranks, and up-rods (and where to route the up-rod through the manifolds). I'm the no-brainer on this part of the job. I did it once with Rochesters, so I think I'll get it with the C-Ws.

Thanks,
Tim
