I put in a little time during the week to try to get this thing rolling and inspected. After mucho mental debate and research, the decision to rid the engine compartment of the Holley Carburetor and replace it with a new Edlebrock 1406 was made. Back in the day I had good success with Holley's, but the tinkering with them was a constant. The Carter AFB based Edlebock will allow me to focus my tinkering efforts elsewhere.
So far I am pretty impressed with it ease of setting the carb up other than the fact that the fuel inlet is on the passenger side. To get the fuel line tucked away and away from the air cleaner I purchased Edelbock part # which set me back $50. It took less than 15 second of cranking the fuel to the bowls to get it to start and I didn't even touch the throttle. As a matter of fact in the 5 or 6 times I have started it since it bangs right off hot or cold and I have been reaching though the window to start it.
Not exactly what a bunch of Holley fanatics want to hear but we aren't trying to break into the next lower second on the 1320.
On to the interior!
