Hey Guys, sorry for the late reply. I installed a new power valve, and matched the jets and discharge to the Clifford 390. Installed a new intake/exhaust gasket, and cinched it all up.
Then I believe I found the problem. Gas started spitting out the exhaust port at the exhaust gasket. I just couldn't get a good enough seal with the OHC intake. The bolt holes and mounting flanges differ and require modification even thought the ports line up.
Can this be done? I believe so. Just not by me.
I re-installed the single barrell stock manifold, and it went together so nicely that I almost felt bad for separating everything.
It also made me realize that there are intakes out there that do a really good job like the Offy or Cliffords, and the price is worth more than the hassle for your regular driveway mechanic.
The carb is ready, and I'm saving for the intake... Lesson learned.
