distributor

Yes I just pit my new Doug thorley headers on and it is great but I was woundering if there is some other things I need to do should I replace my distributor, carb to a 38 or what all you guys think I should do and remember I'm after the best gas mileage I can possibly get cause this is my DD thanks

Everyone here that replaces the stock carb uses a weber 32/36. Search the forums and there is a lot of great write ups on these carbs.

Yeah I'm familiar with the 32/36 I've had one for awhile but I was just woundering if I need a new distributor or anything else to match up with the headers

I think a 38 would get worse mileage than a 32/26, which is progressive. If you keep your foot out of it you'll drive all over on the smaller primary port.

If your distributor works I don't know why you would need a different one.

D.u.i.

I just put a D.U.I. distributor in my truck....My engine is bored .40 over, mild head work, Enginbuilder "Crawler" cam, Bosch platinum plus 4 plugs, Live Wire plug wires,38MM Weber, and header with 2 1/2 inch exhaust.....The D.U.I. has by far been the BEST thing I've done..REALLY woke it up....

DOOOO EEEEET..
