427 69 start up after 20+ years
Wanted to do something enjoyable over the christmas break, so I decided to get my 69 out of my dad's barn to see if it would run and go over what it would need.
Moved on it's own, but no brakes as expected.
The **** people did in the 80s
But on the bright side there is lots of room for a plate and a taller intake

Nice to hear an old big block come back to life 
Once it ran for a while it seemed to run very well.

Wasn't getting a good read from my light at first for some reason. Got it to work a couple days later and set total to 36. Acts like it wants more, but the car will be torn down and getting new ignition anyway.
