She will run again soon,Today!

I am going n/a to just get it running before winter.I had some heart issues I thought so that slowed me for a month or 2.I am feeling much better and living life again.Feels good!I am waiting on a starter,dipstick [Lokar]disconnect but I can progress with the plug wires,dist,exhaust,radiator while I wait.

Maybe I missed something Mike,,,,,,that's a different intake

Clayton,

Glad your doing better and keep doing what the doctor tells you.

Baby Steps

Glad to hear your on the up and up! I have been out for five years.I retired 2014 from law Enforcement Took family to Disney this year and worked on car with a friend who also has been out of the game for awhile we both plan on going at it in spring. Would like to fire it up before winter to check out any kinks!!!

Thanks everyone!My heart injection factor was about 50% so I need to keep an eye on it.I had swelling in my feet,knees,face but a water pill has helped that a bunch and I can move much better,get up from kneeling good now.
Hemi itis this will get mo on the road and see what spring hold for me with the blower.

What you going to do for a hood?

I think the blower was cool but made it hard to hook with all the weight on the nose

I have a factory intake but no air filter to fit with the raised Edel heads and I still have the factory hood and I have the glass hood I can fab a metal scoop or something.

Not even this filter will clear the factory hood but maybe if I turn it.

Health first...........This may be slower but a lot more fun to spend driving and racing instead of always workin on em........... Those air filters are one of the WORST you could run no joke...........

You need a two inch 14 inch diameter drop base air cleaner bottom like Summit sells

Thanks cab I will look for it

I would take the foam out of the filter most likely but we will see.I have a bunch of filters but no drop base so I will see when I get the hood on what I need.I hope to still use the blower but at a reduce OD% like 3% where I made 8#.

Late 60's Chevy "L88" air cleaner base is 14" diameter with a ~2" drop IIRC, designed to work with dual inlet holleys.

Glad to hear your doing better now hope you keep getting stronger

put in the locking dipstick,I use the TH350 unit not the TF to clear the stock floor.

I wanted to show you the fender exit 1969 B body headers I made without cutting the whole inner fender out.They are a 4 piece header and install with only removing the valve covers.

almost there,waiting on my superformance valve cover gaskets,trans line fittings from Mancini.

I am going to put the factory hood on tomorrow,something that has not been on in 16yrs.

Maybe I missed it, but why did you take the blower off?

I am just getting it running before winter and also testing my options if I get too sick/old to race.I want to drive it more.

Almost there I swear,I was waiting on my trans fittings [1/8"npt to -6]but here she is just needing a fuel psi check,starter test on a new starter.

900 rpm idle for now until I check the trans fluid and put it in gear.

Sounds good. Good luck with your health.

Thank you!I am sooo glad to get this running again.
