Royce, I knew that was a conventional Y, I was just being a little sarcastic since you have a few LYB's. That is quite a great idea running those scrub hillborn's, should make for some cheaper avenues and more power than the originals. and they look much better on a Y anyway.

Billy, This is a Ford Y block. Lincoln is physically bigger with a conventional port layout. Think 351 W vs 390 as physical size reference
Yes, I used the fuel pump mount to attach a breather.. No sense in cutting original T Bird valve covers. Also the dyno operator is able to easily measure ring seal by using just one vent.
Original Hilborns are mounted in line with the engine and use 2 throttle shafts per side. They are rare expensive and kind of small for a healthy engine. I modified a scrub system and mounted it crosswise. I had to fabricate a manifold to achieve this. The scrub uses 2 3/16 throttle bores where the orginal y block injector uses about 1 3/4

Royce, Your an ace! Couple questions? Is that a YB and not an LYB? what is with the breather in the fuel pump opening and how come some setups I have seen the stacks are in a row, are all the Y block hilborn's side by side like that for the ports or are there differen't styles or do they just turn them sideways for small blocks. and last but not least, will we see this at columbus?

Frank I ran an Autolite 124s I normally run AR 32 or 33 but they were backordered.
Jepito, The secondary bypass on my systen uses a can with a poppet valve that releases pressure at about 40 lb. It is timed with a hole in the spool to dump pressure at a specific throttle opening corresponding to 2-3000 rpm. Once the spool moves past that hole then the bypass is deactivated and the system gets full pressure.. To set my barrel valve. I use a leakdown tester and adjust the arm on the barrel valve to where I get about 10% leakdown. Then I start the engine and adjust the barrel valve to a clean idle.. Then I adjust richer until there is no stumble when you whack the throttle

one thing to try is a stumble valve from Engler. It's like a poppet that is backwards. Bleeding off fuel in low rpm until the pressure rises and then closing. This would allow a smaller pill so you don't get lean up top. The spool should only be controlling part throttle.
