Lookin' good, Brock.

Course, if you ever get bored, I have a few cars here...lol.

I will totally take your cars home and work on them :D

Space, I don't have much funds so it would be a budget build, but for now I want to get it painted. It may get sold because I have something very great in my plans for it, but we'll see.

I got farther on it yesterday, I finally got it started *after one fire* and it runs pretty good now. I need some wire loom and new spark plug wires to finish it off though, it took a while to get all of the timing set and I ended up being 180* off. Gonna take it out for a drive tomorrow and see how everything feels.

Yes, 3.73s, stock posi pretty much, so it will probably explode haha. I need suspension work for sure. My priorities are having a fun car and my funds are that of a college student, so far I haven't spent over $200 on this car/ including gaskets and everything. That number will go down if I can sell my stock intake too. ;)

I wish I knew more about carbs, but this is still interesting to read :)

Thanks everyone, and Cort, I say haha.

Got it tuned up again today. My distributer moved a tiny bit and it had 79 jets in it so I dropped the primaries to a 74, but the secondaries are still a 79. Got rid of the choke and got the heater to work just in time because my windows were fogging tonight. Tuesday I'll try to get it cleaner up with some pictures.

On a side story, while I was trying to test it I got on it a bit in a friends neighborhood and parked it. After I parked it I did some more fine tuning with him, and I was about to leave, when I saw a unmarked parked 2 blocks away, just watching me. I waited 20 minutes till he left then went on my way :D
