Should kick ass - I did a big bore kit with everything else stock. Same vintage case and the same heads. Once I got the jetting right on the 28 PICT1 and Glenns 019, the car really runs strong. Want to get it back on the dyno and see what it does now.

Thank you Smile
It runs well and has a good power. It needs again some tune up. The 019 is not so simple to set up.

Are you happy with the 019 or would you rather have a 010?

The reason I ask is because I am going to do a build similar to yours, but not sure whether to go with 019 or 010.

Thanks.

Yes, I'm happy with 019 ... but I don't know if a 010 could be better.
