Dude, they are super quiet. Windows down, I can barely make out any tire noise.

Brakes and Fuel pump issues fixed!!

Used vacuum booster turned out to be bad, maybe from sitting. It was working some at 1st but then nada, just like manual brakes. Also was messing with the Edelbrock tuning b/c of the vacuum leak. Idle would raise to 11-1200 with foot on brake at red lights.

Fuel starvation issues/low pressure after driving for 15-20 min.

I thought it was fuel boiling, cavitation, or something. Ended up just being a tank full of rusty scale.

I went ahead with my in tank conversion, and used evaporust to clean the tank. Should be golden now! Also replaced the float with a plastic one.

Brake booster/1” master combo from speedway motors. Had to change the lines to the prop valve, also had to cut the threaded rod and weld nut/eye for the ford bell crank. Pretty easy install for a “custom” setup. < $200 and stops on a dime.

SSBC big brake kit on D30
- large 90’s GM calipers.

Really well, I bought the unit used and I was nervous. I think everything being “new” helped, but it has ran great since the beginning.

Only “issue” has been vacuum leak, ended up a bad brake booster.
