My Motor Got a Christmas Makeover

Finally got the new carb and intake installed, and my LFD '72 gas pedal conversion. Girlfriend got me the valve covers and air cleaner for Christmas. Still tweaking with the Lokar throttle cable, might have to order a new inner cable. Rest of the motor looks like @#$%, but it runs great.

Found the valve covers on E-bay, some offshore copies. Fit and finish was good though and they came with baffles.

Sorry no pics, but
here's the thread on the conversion: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=371099
Well worth the money, easy install. I still have to tweak with my throttle cable though. Installed per Lokar's instructions, inner cable came up a hair short. Pedal is slightly off the floor at WOT. The '72 gas pedal has more range then the carb does. Need to install the Lokar cable measured with pedal and carb at WOT.

You'll want to allow for insulation and carpet thickness when measuring too.
