I am installing a Chalon kit on my '72 914. I have some questions that are inadequately addressed in the kit literature. Does anyone have experience putting the fenders on? I have cut the metal and prepped the surfaces. I need to know how much of the chalon fiberglass channel to remove before mounting.
Thnx |

500 here, 500 there, pretty soon your definetly into making a silk purse out of a hog's ear.
There is a local guy who does nothing but rebuild Holleys (Jr.'s Holley Shop), he's been doing it forever, he's as old as dirt. When I was debating about which carb vis-a-vis injection and doing the cfm calculations (355 cfm in this case), I went to talk to him. He promises to build a 600 cfm 4-barrel (no choke w/ a vacuum secondary) and set it up for my engine. He has several bench engines he will do the initial setup on and then do the final setup on my running engine. He will do this for $175. That is money saved that can go directly into the fuel delivery and ignition systems. For $500 I'll get the carb, fuel cell, new lines, fuel pump, and regulator with enough left over to cover some of the costs of the Second Strike ignition system.
