Thanks guys...Adger, I went over to that site but didn't have the time to check it out
fully. And thanks for the e-mail address...I'll try and contact him as well...

Don, I was told years ago that the earlier Holley...being smaller...was better for the
little engines...at least out of the box with no mods. But being "shorter" confuses the
issue...especially running the automatic...and needing longer runners...

I've looked at several 300-25's though...at swap meets...and they seem quite large
internally..and would need some work...for a smaller engine. Realize that these
manifolds are for all SBC's...and they have to be somewhat big to cover all c.i.'s....

Not familiar with the 300-100...got some swap meets coming up...and will look for all
of them...Just wanted to have a Holley around to compare with the Victor Jr. and the
Victor 4x4 I have now....but the car is not finished yet.

Don...was your brother's car that '58 Chev wagon?
