I appreciate all your good suggestions. I'll check those CV bolts again. And install a second temp sender. What I really could have used is something to detect loss of coolant. A temp sender won't tell you a hose blew, but you either smell it or see the vapor coming out somewhere.

I originally had a Carter AFB 600 cfm carb, but swapped it for the newer Edelbrock 600 off my Chevelle. Looks nicer. But my idle has a slight 'hunting' on the rpm's which does not even out completely with either the mix screws or timing. May be something internal to the carb I need to chase down. Well I'll eventually get it right. What's funny is I'm still fixing things that have nothing to do with the V8 conversion. Sooner or later I will get them all. But maybe not, after all this is a 914!

John, the dyno check sounds like a good idea considering the modifications to my engine over a stock 350.
