Thank you Roger. I have done over 20 cars in my last 55 years. I love all cars. One of my friends said one day .(you are like a whore, you do them all) I even restored  a 1957 BMW Isetta. Just loved that little car. I had more people look at that car than just about all the cars I did. They loved it. The 55 Bird will be a driver. Not a show car. I'm kind of turned off with that stuff. My 40 Willys is for nostalgia drag racing. Not a show car.

Ted. How do I go about modifying the carburetor? Is it something I can do? Or do I have to send it out. I'm not planning on going into full boost. Do I still need the modification?

If the supercharger is not going to be functional, then boost referencing the secondary diaphragm pot on the carb will not be necessary.  If you do decide to make the supercharger have some boost, then I do have any easy mod to the carb that will allow the secondaries to work while under boost and not require the extensive modifications that are performed to the original carbs.  Just give a shout back if you decide to go the boost route at which point I'll work up some kind of pictured tutorial.

Thank you Ted for getting back to me. I will get back to you when I am ready for the carburetor modification.

Thank you again. Loren Porsch
