That bottom bridge sucked, still not done, I have the muffler and rebuild to go...
This is on my bench but I'm not working on it. Got er on demo. Made a couple cuts today with a 25". Pretty impressive with that bar.

Just got done putting one of those Super XLs together with a new piston. My piston looked worse than yours but the cylinder wasn't all that bad.View attachment 412626 I have this to play with.
Thinking about milling a little out of the exhaust port??????????
My choice would be to replace both the carb and intake with a dual line Holley and an aluminum intake but some like to keep them original. My Vette is injected so I'm probably stuck with that..i'm a dodge guy, but love the Q jet.........very good carb once you understand it. first thing is replace the float with a brass one.
mopars are funny if your not building a racer.......many don't realize the small blocks characteristics can easily be ruined by over carbing or to big a an intake runner. the spread bore lends itself nicely to long small runners like the stock four barrel intakes and some AM aluminum intakes. good am intakes have long small diameter runners such as the performer, sp2p and that holley design i can't think of.....single plane but has a built in restriction in the plenum. short fat runners and 650 cfm+ square bores make a dog unless your building a high rpm screamer.My choice would be to replace both the carb and intake with a dual line Holley and an aluminum intake but some like to keep them original.

I've always been a middle man. Think I'm still a middle man.....
Yeah they aren't too bad. Old timers are pretty fun to play with, for me anyway, like the new stuff also.Just got done putting one of those Super XLs together with a new piston. My piston looked worse than yours but the cylinder wasn't all that bad.
Don't know about mopars, I was talking about that big block Corvette. I think most of them came out with a Holley carb.mopars are funny if your not building a racer.......many don't realize the small blocks characteristics can easily be ruined by over carbing or to big a an intake runner. the spread bore lends itself nicely to long small runners like the stock four barrel intakes and some AM aluminum intakes. good am intakes have long small diameter runners such as the performer, sp2p and that holley design i can't think of.....single plane but has a built in restriction in the plenum. short fat runners and 650 cfm+ square bores make a dog unless your building a high rpm screamer.
Hit me if you ever need partsThose XL12s and Super XLs are really pretty good wood cutters if you get a good chain on them. Hard part for me was running down all the little odds and ends parts for mine, I started with about half a saw which had little compression and although mine's not pretty it does run pretty good now that I have it together.
Knock out girls! With all due respect I wouldnt mind being on their workbench.
