I swapped out the old points style distributor for the HEI distributor that I temporarily robbed from my Chevelle. Everything went quite smooth with the swap and it starts and runs MUCH better now.
New problem from last weekend was that it would start VERY hard after it would sit for a little bit. I pulled the carb tonight to find that the well plugs in the bottom of the QuadraJet had started to leak again. The secondary metering port well plugs are sealed up very well, but it was the well plugs for the primary metering ports. This time I was determined to fix it permanently. A 10-32 tap and cutting down some 10-32 cap screws to only 0.1875" long should solve that problem once and for all!
