Nice job 
Won't be long now and there'll be the annual vette get together at the drive in west of San Jose. I've missed the last two and want to go this year. I thought it was in May.

The Q-Jet is a great carb when setup properly
As far as the tach drive HEI..I dont understand why you see the need to replace the original.
I had been running a spare '73 tach drive delco Dist with an Accel module and had Lars rebuild and recurve my original points Dist on his Sun machine and the car runs like a clock.
Any how, Very glad to hear you found a good carb rebuilder in your area

And CA-Legal-Vette I'll keep an eye out for this event, although this car is no show piece by any means, I'd love to take a look at what others are doing with there cars.
Cheers

Well I cant post the price that Lars charged me to rebuild my original Dist (he replaced just about everything , Main shaft, drive gear, bushings, spacers ect: were all shot.
I dint know what you paid for the new Dist but I hope it will work well for you...sounds like it should be fine ...just remember....keep the original stuff.
I rebuilt the top end on my '73 last fall for more HP and saved every part, nuts and bolts ect: that came from the factory just in case in maybe 20 years down the road someone will want to put it back to original condition.
