Here are some pics of the Carbs!! Joe Irwin at Fast Forward Marine/Race Engines rebuilt them with all 100% new parts!! Throttle Shafts, Throttle Blades, Pumps, Linkages... etc etc!! Joe took the inch of paint off them too & refinished them back to the Holley Zinc Finish!!
No modifications were done to the carbs. These carbs were worked over by The Carb Shop in 2008. Joe just put them back to brand new condition!!
Here is the ugly before....
And after!!! They look sexy new now!!

Went through the distributors last night. Polished the shafts out Plus New cap and Rotor
Inside the housing had some metal shavings (when the oil holes were drilled) that were waiting to fall inside my engine...
Deburred the inside of the Distributor housing.
Deburred the outside of the Distributor and bead blasted all the paint off the housing that rides inside the engine... Last thing I need is paint chips in the oil galley plugging up my lifters.
Distributor Put back together.
New Gear Installed, the new gear is taller and did not need the shim
Old Iron Gear on the Right. New Steel Gear for the Billet Steel cam on the left
Here you can see the New Steel gear is taller and why you no longer need a distributor shim. If you try to put it together with the shim the distributor is locked up.... No good
The Distributor has the same exact endplay with the new gear and no shim vs. the old gear and shim.

Got an Update from Joe at Fast Forward. Joe did not like the way the spray mounted on the block, it required drilling holes into a structural area of the block... So instead of potentially making the block weaker Joe decided to make his own spray bars for the engine.
New CNC Spray bar Joe Designed!!
Billet CNC Clamps for the Spray bar.
Complete Spray bar with an oil shield to keep the hot oil off the bottom of the intake. That should help to keep the intake from getting heat soaked!!
