Man I sure miss what the garage must smell like... Almost makes my eyes water listening to it... LOL. I hear ya. I usually like having Matt around when I fire up a new build but he has a girlfriend now if you know what I mean. By time I fired it up, checked for leaks, set the timing, and did my routine gauge checking I was running for the door.

Pittsburgracer, Your motor sounds healthy. Can't wait to here what it runs. I am still having throttle problems. What throttle cable are you using? I tried the Lokar braided stainless and it moves around too much. Like I said my throttle set-up is pretty basic on this car. A stock type cable from pedal thru firewall and a mopar type hold-down that uses two of the carb bolts. I bought this set-up from Jegs or Summit and it gives me all the adjustment you will need. The only thing I will add is that sometimes you have to think outside the box and change where the cable hooks to the carb

That engine has that sweet crackle and brings back some good memories for me...Shes going to pull real hard in the mid range you will be suprised....I have to come out and see it run!!! Thanks again Randy for the cam. Not many guys that you don't know are going to walk up to you at a race and hand you a FREE roller cam. If possible please PM me your phone number as I would really like to at least buy you lunch one of these days. I lost some of my saved PM's during the websites change-over. I put the exhaust back on it yesterday so my set-up is the same as it was last season. Hope to make some hits this weekend.
