Old Glory gets Tune ported

This post is about My love for this country and a Trike I started 13 years ago. It was a doomed 57 Chevy Belair 4 door and i have always like the unique stuff so I started this Project. Being disabled it has taken me many years to get it to where it is now. I have had it at a few shows and it is appreciated every where I go. Im looking to install Tune port Injection that a vender in louisville Hot Rod Nationals sponsored. The trike only weighs in 2600 and has a small 267 chevy moter bored over 30 with 3 speed auto trans and stock rearend. It has the half moon carb on it now and and cuts out top end like fuel loss. well this tune port would look good and hopefully solve this problem.

Re: Old Glory gets Tune ported

I finnaly save to buy the surge tank. as you know the factory tank has only one fuel line exiting the tank I thought the drain plug on bottom of tank could feed the Surge tank and return fuel through the factory line on tank. The only question was how to set up the surge tank it came with no instructions on pluming line to where? Here is my first question in pic
