And it’s a mechanical creampuff, fired right up after i put a fresh battery and gas in it, barely even smoked, of course being a chevy swap that’s to be expected no? Only issues so far is the secondaries on the carb are stupid stuck shut I’ll probably have to dissemble it to free them.

The car gods have been blessing Oppo lately. The old cars are being revived with great ease.

Let us all thank the one and noble Jake - For he who bears the maladies on himself, shalt bear them for us all. So says the internal combustion Gods of above. Now let us all open our Haynes manuals to page 32.....

Pretty sure no one talked with Jake about becoming a martyr to the car gods, but then again, I don’t think martyrs usually get a choice.

Before you go too far on the secondaries, check to be sure the gasket is the right size. My friend’s dad installed the wrong sized gasket while working on his ‘70(?) Charger. It blocked the secondaries from opening. His dad left it that way (my friend didn’t know any better) to help keep him out of trouble. He didn’t discover it until after we were out of college and he asked a mechanic to look into the acceleration issues.
