My dad owns two other cars that have slot mags on them and they've been on there since he was in high school lol. He also has a Mustang that has a set of Appliance mag snowflake style wheels. There was no way we were not putting mags on this car

What a cold-blooded turd that thing is hahaha. Took a while to get it started even with the help of some ancient starter in a can!

The ET on this build is impressive. [cl

Well I did some tuning on the carburetor setup on the car today along with build a floor pan. I dropped the jet size from a 65 to a 50. I changed the spark plugs and put a new coil on it. I also drilled and tapped the intake for a vacuum ports to run the vacuum advance. I also took a vacuum reading at idle. It's pulling about 13 to 14 lb, which I thought was pretty good considering I was told that tunnel Rams don't really pull a lot of vacuum. I'm going to run a vacuum gauge on it tomorrow and drive around a little bit so I can get the correct reading for my power valves. It also still seems to be running rich. My new plugs are black oh, but dropping the jet sizes that far did it make a big difference it runs a lot better and it's actually drivable now

If it's still running that rich, do you have a blown power valve?

No I checked them. I did order new ones that are the correct size.

The carbs had 65 in them the old single 600 holley had 62 in it. So it could still be alittle rich.

Like the plywood floor LB. Fun to see wood in a nostalgia build. [P
