Using, no. But then my slant won't be going in an A -body anyway. We did however stick my 4 bbl manifold under the hood of Dadtruck's pickup. It looked close but looked like it would work. Dadtruck ordered his 2 bbl version and I would guess eyeballed it many times since. I would pm him and ask for his opinion.

That site is a bit busy ain't it? I'm thinking of just removing the p/b set up and going to manual disc all around. That is if it doesn't fit with the booster.

Here is my 66 Valiant, I've measured and I don't think my manual dual master cylinder will be a problem on the early cars 63-66.

I like the 390 and this manifold package. It has better throttle response than the Clifford 4 bbl manifold I have used. The electric choke works fine, I had to buy a auto transmission adapter lever and I used a Locar AT kickdown. Over all it seams fine.

Rob,

Nice install!
Got any pictures of the transmission hookup?
What kind of vacuum readings are you seeing at idle and at cruise?
Do you feel a big difference in power?
What rear-end ratio?
What is the difference in mileage?

Sorry no pictures of the transmission side of the kickdown. I run about 19" vacuum at idle neutral and about 15/16 in gear at about 600 rpm? Power seams good but its hard to compare because I used to have a turbo. There are 3.55 gears in the rear end. I haven't checked the millage yet but it seams like it will be good with this manifold.
