    Thanks ordered a new edelbrock w/ the electric choke I will pick it up tomorrow. Now I am trying to figure out why I keep blowing the spark plug wires off. I prpbably need to get some better wires, they are slipping off when I am drivin. Blew two wires off just on this run this morning plug it back in she runs great powerful. I may need to crimp em a bit.

    How great does it feel?

    Kinda scary at first but i got used to it and the clutch needs a minor adjustment I have a little over a inch of play not chatter but a minor vibration in the clutch pedal feel. The Brake pedal is slow to release, ( does not return rapidly even though they stop the car great ). I have 15psi vac pressure and she runs stellar when the plug wires stay in. Very powerful car, and holy crap is she fast. I have never driven a car this fast before.

    I think I had too much slop outside of the plug wire clips and the wind must have been flopping them around i tightened every wire up and clipped so more of the wire is at the cap.

    She is a thirsty Lady I'd be surprised if she gets 7-10 mpg  :icon16:

    Took her for another trip on the street again today!! Feeling confident in her performance, definately need to get a overflow bottle of some sort, just like when I had the small block she still pukes coolant after I shut her off when I have been driving her a while.

    That's par for the course. Once the fluid is just above the fins(for lack of a better word), it won't puke coolant anymore. You can't fill the radiator to the top. Can you tell I have been down this road before.    :bricks1:
