I ran the same setup on a 265" in the '60s and early '70s. Some guys made a wire hook to hold them wide open. I tried that, but good ol' Red Anderson made me take mine off. The car ran the same both ways. If you think that is the problem, tie the weights up to see if it actually is. I saw guys drill holes in the thick (heavy) weights to lighten them, they came with two different weights. Mine all had the thin weights. I would be suprised if that is your problem.

Good luck, Ed
