As others have noted . . . your PV's are probably not the correct ones. You cannot use regular Holley (modern) PVs. I suggest getting them from...
Thanks for putting the vid together Carl - always fun to watch!
Yep, ole' Terminal Island racing . . . and 'Big Willy' - I remember that well. Was amazing that the cops didn't show up (in the early years) -...
I like your plan with the dual Stromberg 81's (and the selected cam) - this will be a good combination. If you're putting new heads on it, make...

The best setup is to use a generator mounted fan - and make sure it is a 32 Fan. The 32 fan is specific to the year and should be about 3/4" or...
On the pipes, you need to buy mandrel bent u-bends (different angles to work with) and then custom make the pipes to flow a bit better, hug the...

Also, it looks like the vacuum line is disconnected from the distributor - is it just lying there and sucking air or plugged off or what?...
Given that it has Brodix heads, my guess is that the rest of the engine is probably setup for some higher horsepower and hence the pretty-big...
Give us some more details on the engine (model, size, performance parts, etc), transmission, etc.. There is nothing inherently wrong with this...
Well, I'd say "kind of" . . . when you break an axle in our early Ford rear ends, the hub/wheel does "float" . . . right off of the rear end!...
