    I love it!!!!!!!:Brow: :Brow: :Brow: My kind of a car, long live torque.:3gears: :3gears:
    That is what happens when you put a big carb on a nailhead. It comes alive.
    A word of warning; I got throwed out of a buick dealership for doing the same thing on their parking lot. :Brow: :Brow: Seems they did not share my enthusiasm. :Do No: :laugh: :laugh:

    Thanks Ted, It makes my day to finally have it to this point after 3 years of work now. I still have a few things I am going to do to the engine and some more tuning. Then it will be next year before I can start to make it nice looking. It will never be more than a driver though.
    Tony, I dont know if I can get it to just set there with the posi, even with just haveing 70r-14 tires. I hope to have more video this summer.

    Dont worry Yac, Just a new clutch and throw out bearing. The Exh. is welded with a X, it had to come out in one piece. My 6 and 8 year old just love the car, wish they could turn wrenches:TU: <a href="http://s166

    I put this set up on the car friday night. Thanks to Tom T. and yacster for some pre driveing jetting info it runs really good. I put 35 miles on it tonight, all kinds of traffic lights and some hwy. It never loaded up one time and kicks ass. I dont know which is set up runs better yet. I plan on finding out though.

    Hey Bob- Looks familiar, mine just says Edelbrock and is putrid greed engine color:bla:

    I found what was killing my performance. The stock converter. I just went to a switch pitch tranny and what a difference- until the switch pitch stopped working (that will be dealt with tomorrow first thing-prolly a loose solenoid wire)

    Now go buy some drag radials and get some runs in!!!:TU: :3gears:
