Omodified's 1970 SWB Custom/10

[omodified]

I got the new gaskets installed. Time to adjust the carb. It is amazing how little tuning you actually have to do to this Edelbrock. I was told that would be the case and it is true. I set the cold idle and regular idle and that was it. This new cam idles very nicely and the exhaust has a real nice rumble to it now. I am thoroughly impressed! Before I tidy up, I need to install 1 wheel stud in the right front hub. It was missing when we bought the truck and the new one has just been laying around. Got the wheel stud installed and now it's time to wrap it up! Hopefully the new inner fenders bolt right up as promised.

Well, almost all of the holes lined up. I think there were two holes on both sides that weren't close. For the most part they went in without a hitch, and I installed them by myself. Time for a test drive!!!


Drove it home with no problems! No leaks either. Runs real strong and tires chirped shifting into second gear. It never did that before! Here's the finished product...
