Putting in breather fittings is on the list of things to do. With the old valley pan, the breather fittings were part of it. Now I have to make a new one. At this point, the oil fill cap is the distributor plug...

I kinda thought the distributor plug was the oil fill, but I couldn't see it.

Now with noise:

[brads70]

  sure sounds good! That thing sounds like it's sucking a lot of air!

[ShelbyDogg]

It is a lot more noisy that the video labeled "First run wue error"

Nice to have it running again. 

[Super Blue 72]

Looks and sounds great! 

[sadil340]

Nice noise!

[Tubbed440]

I'm officially jealous.

I gotta stop looking at this thread....It's gonna make me broke?

It's been a busy holiday season, but I've got a few things done, the most visible being the MAF sensor and intake tube. Also got the throttle hooked up. I still have a bunch of wiring cleanup to do and I am redoing the exhaust. I messed up the spacing between the trans and the exhaust enough to where there wasn't enough room to hook up the shifter. Also scored a slap stick and I'm modifying that (what else is new) so I can hook it to the trans without the bellcrank assy. The edelbrock throttle body needs a different cable end to connect to it so I had to figure that out too. I started it up tonight with no exhaust to test out the throttle pedal - yeah it works.

   That looks sweet!

[ntstlgl1970]

Well, the intake hits the hood, not sure what I am going to do about that. Pretty much right where the throttle body attaches

[barracuda7199]

that intake is sweet! can u machine that large ridge where it mounts down?

Unfortunately it is going to take more than just machining the one edge, I'm probably going to have to make a slot cut in the lower part of the scoop opening. Meanwhile I started putting some of the trim back on and some of the glass. I haven't had the stainless back on the drip rails since about 1987. It's nice to see it on there again, and the rear windows too...
