I guess not! Now I'll get to install them while laying on my back with my neck cranked over to try and see where they go! That'll learn me for being in a hurry!

So I made some time this weekend and started working through the issues. Found and fixed a weak connection for the fans so they run now. And I also discovered why the tach wouldn't work... seems I...

I had forgotten how yours had started... It was so long ago.. :eek::eek::LOL::LOL: I only remembered you taking it apart and the neighbor issues.. :HMMM:



It's that "blocking" that drags it...

Sad but true enough! :(:(

I'm glad you do! I figured only Randy would "get it"!...:LOL:**):LOL: 'cause now I'm lost!

I realized over the weekend it's June and I haven't had it running long enough to go for a...

As part of the dash "upgrade".. I replaced all the gauges with new ones from Classic. That meant the gas tank had to come out.

Sigh.... I feel like R2 on the west coast! It started with a...

Thanks Ryan! It's been a long road but I'm almost at the end of that one. And yeah.. you've got your hands full enough!

An 020 light?!?! Dang! The brain was using all the cells that night!:LOL::LOL: Must've been a good time, wish I was there!!

Man oh Man... I'm sweating bullets doing everything possible to make sure I don't scratch it!!! If anyone were to carve into it.... I'd have the big one!:eek::LOL::LOL:

I am way behind schedule and projects have stacked up! Once I get the dash and new gauges installed I still need to figure out the tune-up for the carbs.
Last time I ran it - it would set your...

Well, I won't go into any long specifics but I finally got my dash back and started getting it ready to go back together.

Thought some might like to see a pic or two.. Hard to not get the gauges...

Good to know! Dr. Jerry Clayton!

You and I took the same class!

And that's what we call the "OTHER 359" degrees!
Also, gas with a lower octane number doesn't mean it's of a lower "quality", but it does burn quicker for a shorter power cycle. And many vehicles...

Yeah, tossing money can make some of it easy.. I have the snap on dial back light and use a external vacuum gauge and tach and it takes a long time to gather data, make an adjustment, retest,...

One vacuum gauge is installed permanently in the dash, and I wish I knew who had a distributor machine.
Right now I've got the advance stretched out to 40' at 2200 rpm... but I was reading one of...

I saw an advertisment from Shelby American which had all his manifolds spread out around a young lady in a cowboy hat. In the description for this manifold, "they" claim it to be satisfactory for...

And I think the vacuum secondaries will help in that department.. fella I've been chatting with on the side, runs this same setup, dual 390 holleys with the vacuum secondary, he won't quote a mpg...

Thanks Roger! As I said to R2, I'll need to learn how to shoot and post videos.. we'll take you for a ride!

YOU! Want pics from ME???...:LOL::LOL::LOL: I'll tell you what, show me/us any progress on yours and I'll do the same!:LOL::LOL: Besides, only 2 others besides me ever look in here!:eek::HMMM::)
...

Well.. it runs! Got a couple hours in today and went through the steps and got the car re-fired. Runs pretty decent right off and after chasing a couple nagging leaks.. I called it a day. Also...

So I did get a few hours in on the car.. things like the plug wires are on.. and plumbed the carbs with new gas line.. then I went to install the hold down for the distributor! Rut Row...

Thanks Randy.. love your "forecast" of fuel consumption..:rolleyes: :LOL::LOL:

Thank You!

Thanks Dave! Still a ways to go but we're over the hump now.. I hope!
