Looks good,now how about a video or at least an audio of you going through the gears on nice moderate run.

 

What you have is better, faster, and more refined than any of the yesteryear production so call Hot Rod 427 and 454 vettes

I bought my '73 twenty years ago, and it's still a "Work in progress"

 

What are your e-tec dist settings?

I use "J, 1" for 15 degrees all in at 3000 kind of slow advance courve and 1 for least amount of vacuum advance at the highest vacuum choice.

 

Yes Sir. Yet another C3 risen like a Phoenix to raise havoc with rice burners, Porches, and hybrids who take up valuable real estate.

Smoke 'em if you got 'em.

 

That is a sweet ride for sure.

 

Nice job!! I'd be interested in the 1/4 mi times.

 

I love your valve covers "Built By Motorhead" Can't wait to see/hear the video

Thanks guys, been driving it for 15 years and still can't wait to get in it, now that's money well spent

George the digital e curve I had was a POS, caused backfires under heavy load on my newly built motor. Could have ruined it. Could not figure out what it was, did not think it was a brand new dist. Took the cap off and found

1) Rusted contacts after 1 week


2) and it looks like the spark was travelling down the cap and grounding on the dist body under heavy load.



If you are having any problems with backfiring or anything similar send it back and tell them to put it in the same pile as mine

 

Got traction? Truly an excellent street machine! Now go run it!

 

Please tell us all about the suspension work you've done....
