Hi Simon.

Congrats.

See this link from the forum: http://www.bristolcars.info/forums/8...r-407-8-a.html

Holly 670 cfm Street Avenger is outstanding, affordable and with a few adaptor plates fits fine. I recommend Bates Performance in Waco TX. See BATES PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS | eBay Stores. Tell Brandon what you have and he will tune the profile to fit. Make sure to ask for the appropriate adaptor linkage, hoses and plate... all standard stuff in any US parts store, but maybe not in UK.
