For the first time in over 3 yrs I started my 67...and the first time since the 350 was put in. So needless to say I am one happy sob today! My heater core is leaking so n i will have to replace that and im sure tune the carb and some other things but serious progress i think!

Awesome! I just started and broke in my motor last saturday.

Great feeling isn't it. If the gas is old replace it. We started one that had sat for several years. Put a battery in it & started right up. 2 days later some valves stuck from the old gas. Wound up having to do a valve job on it.

That's great!! Congrats

Nope, new gas tank under the bed, all new hard and rubber lines, fuel filter, new mechanical pump but the motor sat quite some time so carb may need cleaned, we shall see

Unfortunately i have to wait to test drive it until i can afford to have driveshaft shortened...went from inline 6 with 4 on the floor to 350/th350 floor shift...oh and i need to find a used shifter to buy and put in. In the meantime Im an upholstery guy so im going to find my bucket seats and start my center console, radio etc
