Quick spin around the block today. I have to dial in the brake bias and maybe install the exhaust tips I bought months ago.

Traction is nonexistent but I'm keeping the small fuses on the rear for now.

Looks great Sheldon; with this weather, it shouldn't be long before summer arrives!

...I think the early warming is my fault; I bought a ski chalet this year!

Thanks Dave: We need this good weather. Well I installed a friends rally rims today and I'm not totally crazy with the look. I have correct date coded 15X7's that I had powdercoated and original trim rings. I think I will wait and buy a set of E60's for them as I won't drive on them that much anyway.

Exhaust tips are on after much screwing around, but they sure look better.

I know a tuff wheel isn't right in an E-body (especially a fake one) but it ain't wrong either.

I was going to swap out these old door panels for the new Metros I have but I ran out of time today. This is an early car and isn't supposed to have the wood grain.

Had a fuel delivery problem with the shaker bonnet on. Bent two new 3/8 lines to the carbs and wrapped them in insulation and that's fixed, A/F ratios are pretty much dead on and the car drives awesome. Still waiting for new armrest pads so I can change the front door panels but the car is done and is fun to drive. Haven't taken it to any shows yet and I don't care too. I enjoy my cars from behind the wheel.
Only thing I plan on doing is rip into the matching #'s 340 and get it ready to be dropped in some day.

Sheldon, at what rpm do you start tapping into the front carb on a steady acceleration? Still battling my stumbling issues at 2400-3000 rpm's. I'm thinking I may be trying to run to far off the back carb? Anyhow, when I start tapping into the front carb the stumble goes away....

Well: My method of tuning is probably a little strange but what I need from it is this. I drive around and really don't think about it much just kind of take off like a normal everyday car off a stop sign with probably less than 1/4 throttle, then I drive around at various throttle positions ranging up to about where you can feel the other carb tipping in (throttle pressure doubles up you can feel it with your foot). (Up to about half throttle should be just on the rear carb).
Then if that's good I'll go in a bit harder and maybe go 5/8 throttle and 3/4 throttle to make sure it doesn't surge or load up (at this point you're using the second carb).
If the driveability is good then I'll go out and whack the throttle in 2nd gear at about 2000RPM and if it stumbles it needs more work. I just nail it and it just hits and breaks the tires loose and it better pull hard up to 6500 or so. I know I want a lot from it but that's what I expect before I think it is running right.
I hope this makes sense the way I wrote it. It's not easy to achieve but is the way I feel it should run.
BTW I bought another one today, U-code, 4 speed R/T SE, I'm swapping in the 472 out of my red Coronet.

We both must be nuts! I wish I was down near you to give you hand with your car. You'll get it though, trust the wideband.
