Also, knocks aren't usually random. They're typically more rhythmic. Are you sure it's not just primary chain slap due to synchronization?

Those Webers really flow well. Mine are crazy at mid to WOT. Idle transition gave me grief. Yours are smooth off idle and hard on the accelerator pumps?

Shout out to Randaak. The setup he recommended with his intakes was close enough to run without even tweaking the mixture screws.

Well. The radiator has a leak. I ordered an aluminum one, "excited". Ordered a mosfet regulator so I can run a lithium battery. The struggle continues.
