After struggling with a WCFB I'm ready to throw in the towel and look towards Edelbrock 1405 but wonder how complicated it is. The WCFB is in a 1954 Commander hardtop with a '59 or perhaps '60 289 cu in engine (not sure of production year), but it is a 289 in a '54 car. And it looks like the carb will have to be raised just over half an inch and Mr. Gasket 98 does that, but is it that simple? Would prefer to not replace or remachine the manifold. Also the air cleaner is mounted to the right side of the motor and will there be sufficient clearance to continue using the side mont air cleaner? Failing the conversion the WCFB might have to stay in place. I would like to hear from those folks who have made such a conversion. Ken, Deltaville, Va
The WCFB continues to belch black smoke about 30 seconds of smooth run, and it is not the choke...I'm am either going to send it to Tbow or convert to Edelbrock 1405. If anyone has not get seen this before , please do so and let me know what you think especially if you have installed a 1405 on a 54 Commander, ken
