Default Update on engine

Good Mourning, I will try and get some pictures and maybe a quick video,but bought a 1981 in February,drove it twice once when I purchased it,and that was about 60 miles to get her home,realized real quick that this stock motor was not enough,so,replaced with Edelbrock E street heads,and intake,carburetor AVS carburetor,headers and HEI distributor,and new lifters and pushrods and flat rocker arms,I know should of bought roller rockers,fired it up,set timing and and she’s running very smooth,although did adjust carburetor as it said in institutions.still have a few vacum hookups,but still have not found a bracket to hook up my throttle cable or tv cable,I know Edelbrock 8041 is the bracket,but every where I look,out of stock,I think I ordered one a few weeks ago,for $70.00,but,can’t remember where I ordered it,Summit or JEGS, or speedway,but they have never taken the money out of PayPal,so not sure if I should keep waiting,although it did say would be here on the 23 of this month,but getting inpatient now.but other than that,the engine is good,and next will be doing interior,new carpet,and cover seats,everything else is good.carpet is old and faded.
