Re: My 68 c10
You are moving right along......It's cool that your dad is not doing it for you. I have a 20 year old son and I have built him already two vehicles so I am done, if he wants it he has to build them himself, I am letting him bang his head beforeI bail him out.
Love what you have already done with it....

Re: My 68 c10
Hey everyone, I would like to thank all of you for your interest and nice comments on my son's low budget but hard labor build. He really loves his truck. He has put every dollar he earned this winter break into it(with a few exceptions to take his girl out) He is working very hard on it every day and he does not want Dad to do everything all I have to do is guide him along the way. I am so PROUD to watch him enjoy his truck.

Re: My 68 c10
I think holley is more fine tunable and edelbrock is simpler to tune...
thats what Ive heard.. Ive got the edelbrock, seems pretty easy I like it.

Re: My 68 c10
I like the holley personally . I have had bad luck with the edelbrock . Not saying the edelbrock is a bad carb just my opinion. Bob
