So I had the money for a new Performer intake and Edelbrock 4 bbl along with fresh bolts, thermostat etc. Walked through the garage to the Charger to run to the parts store and order the stuff and pick up a few other things I needed and I noticed a little water running out of one of the drains on my house. I have a 600 gallon cistern and a solar water heater on my roof, so I know it's going to be one of those that's leaking. The cistern shut off valve sticks every once in a while, so I figure that's the problem. I climb onto the roof and notice water dripping from the hot water tank so I take a closer look and yeah, it's leaking. I called the local solar guys and they come out to take a look and tell me that the tank is shot and I need to replace it. $800 dollars later I have a new water tank but no new carb and intake. In the evening a guy stops in front of my house and asks if he can take a look at the Cuda and we start talking about the carb being dead now. He goes to his trunk and takes out a Holley 2bbl and says I can have it. It's not a 4bbl, but it's bigger than the 2bbl that's on it now. It will be going on today, and I hope to have the car moving by the weekend unless more gremlins come out to play.
