Welcome. Looks like a good start with that 62.

I will offer this advice after seeing you engine bay pic: the electric fuel pump, very likely, will make a good bit more pressure than the Edelbrock carb will be happy with. They don't want any more than 5 psi, some say 4 or even 3.5 lbs. is enough otherwise flooding/richness will ensue and I don't think you want that with the price of petrol over there.

Welcome on this super resource board.

Again guy's, thanks for the welcome here. Think Im going to like this forum.

I think I'll start a project thread. That's possibly the best way to start asking the hundreds of questions I have on what and how to rebuild this truck. Ive ton's to learn but that's half the fun. Everyday is a school day as they say.

Hopefully I'll collect the Chevy next week and at least then I can have a really good look at her and even get the small block running even if its only for seconds. Sadly I ive probably 6 months work elsewhere before I can make a real start at her.

Cant wait to do my first burn out!
