Carbs tore down yesterday.Pretty clean for sure.One acc pump dry and froze up,all 4 power valves are to big for a S/C .And now i can boost reference them now that they are apart.
I have had this car now for 3 1/2 months and a lot has all ready been done now as of sharing this build.
Power brake booster needs to be swapped from it's 11" to a 7" dual diaphram unit [its on order should have it soon.Tall valve covers hit it.
A/C delete,and had to remove right inner fender well to remove the f-glass box and install the a/c delete box-it's done now.Still get to keep the heat system.
all brakes were like new and work great.It had a 267 chevy v-8 115hp motor and t-350 trans i drove it home 30mi and drove very well.Very clean car with new rear quarters done rest is rust free thats why i bought it.
Interior is very nice cond also and thats a BIG PLUS also.Factory tach and gages but add new ones to the now modified console for the 4 speed.I may be slow but im ahead of you. *hit's only ankle deep but you went in head first.
