Well, I guess this is the last time I need to post in this section. I took my maiden voyage 30 miles to the state patrol for inspection and back through rush hour traffic. Passed the inspection, the truck was flawless, and I was surprised to find out....its scary fast! All the worrying I did...

I guess I'm not so good at keeping a "build log" like some of you guys, but here is an update. Got her purrin like a kitten after messin with timing again and again, new plugs and fine tunin the Holly. The big project was the wiring. My biggest challenge! But, with some head scratching and a...

Hey Undercover, ITook Your Advice And Traded Out That Carb. I Had To Go With The Holly Due ToSpace Limitations,And Still Had To Remove One Fended Brace To Fit It. RePonce Improved, And Now It Will Idle, But Still No Power, Like Spurin A Dead Horse. More Work To Do, But I Appreciate Everyones Input.

Well boys, I'm gainin little by little. Bought a used front and rear bumper from a local guy and got them on. Back one no problem, front one took some time due to the Pontiac clip. Had to weld on some brackets. Now I'm only a so so welder when the work is flat, upside down? Lets just say it aint...

Update: Well, I've been chipping away at little things, and the more I do, the more I find there is to do. And this just to get it driveable. It runs! Really rough right now, hopefully the carb rebuild, plugs and wires will smooth it out. I got the brakes (front and rear discs) bled and the...

Don't know what happened there,,,,rooky mistake I guess. Not much progress yet. Had the carb off and back on 4 times cleaning, recleaning and checking for something that would cause it to be at full tilt boogy at startup. Still stumped but not out for the count yet. Checked around a little and...

Hey Neverdone, I like your way of thinking. I have a nice holly 650 AND an Edelbrock 600,(nearly new) sittting on the shelf. Swap the manifold and I'd be good. I'll see what happens today with this thing. It needs wired head to toe so I have plenty to do in the mean time. Gotta figure out some...

Thanks guys. I know I'm pretty lucky, its in pretty good shape to start with. I do have a Chevy 350 on a stand in the shop on standby, if this setup is a bust, but I thought this might be kool and different if I can get the bugs out. Right now, I don't care about mega power, I just wanna drive...

Well Here Are Pics Of When I Drug The Ol Girl Out Of Ghe Field Where It Had Sat For Years, And a Progress Pic. I Found A Killer Deal On Tires/Wheels At A Swap Meet.Took 2 Leaves Out Of The Bak For Couple Inches Drop, Killed Half A Dozen Mice, Pulled The GasTankAndCleanedIt. Th Interior Is In...

Thanks for the hospitality. This place feels just like a second home, without the mortgage. Havent made a lot of progress, at least not enough for a build thread like a lot of you guys have. Spent a lot of time chasin mice. ha Did get it to turn over, and took the carb off and cleaned it up. The...

I may have muddied the water by asking about the heater hoses as well, but I don't care about that right now. I just want to see if this thing runs. There is an open port (hose nipple) on the intake manifold beside the thermostat housing. And there is a nipple of the same size coming off the...

As for me, I don't need a powerhouse as long as it runs out ok. Its not what I would have chosen, but its whats there so I'll try it. Just seems like more to go wrong to me, since I'm not that familiar. I've alwys has 350's/396's. I got it to turn over yesterday after replacing the solenoid...

Hi Guys, (and Gals?) I would like some advise please, on filling some 1/2 " bolt holes in the doors of my 54 Chevy Pickup. It had some bulky mirrors bolted on that I removed. I'm not worried about the paint, but the doors are perfect and I don't need to warp them, and honestly I just don't...
