Self-Starter article on the 429 engine series
I would like to obtain a copy of the Self-Starter's article on the 429 engine series. I think it was originally published in the July 2003 edition. Does anyone have a copy to share or any ideas of how to obtain a copy?
Thank you.

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Hey guys,
I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great!

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?
