Impossible for me to tell with that pic. I would need far more understanding of your entire linkage/setup and I am a visual person. At least its running. Im getting ready to drive mine for a few days in the next week. Do a little spring cruising. Weather is nice. Its dry out. New...

I just started from scratch. Though my reason was I reflashed the computer with newer software. So I thought I would do a full once over. Beginning with just plain getting the car to run. Adjusting the fuel to make it start perfect every time. Then IAC. I can make mine zero just like...

If IAC is all over ensure you dont have a vacuum leak at the carb base somewhere. Maybe a fitting. Brakes? Advance? A broken vacuum nipple thingy. I also gleaned this off a thread while I was taking a look to see what the table size is. I dont know if that cut and paste will help you but...

Interesting thread. I have the FiTech Mean Street 800 on a 496. Never had a problem with it other then trying to play with a setting I dont fully understand and adjusting it 'out' of tune. I have had the same starting issue with mine. Though it was not IAC related. Mine was 'after start...

Bill!!! How are you? Hows NC? I left the state in 2020 and im loving middle America. Except the road to freedom. To get the Bu to pavement I have to travel down some gravel and dirt and it rattles the car to death. But its worth it!! Driving the back roads of the Missouri Ozarks is...

I dont think I have enough power to twist the glass out of the bond and even if I did its not getting to the ground in a meaningful manner Safelite does a great job applying all of the primer. They did the front windshield back in 2009 and its fantastic still. I also had them do all of the...

I searched the site for anything rear glass related. Didn't find anything useful and hadn't posted in a while. So I thought I would post anyway. Still love my car. Would love it more if the rear glass would adhere to urethane. I have had safelite remove and reinstall it twice and...

Still beating my car when I can. Finally put a little paint on it. It suits me well. Took me some time to get my account to come back online.

The tuning never ends. I dont know if this is Pro Turing or not.... dont care. Car has 600+hp and gets 17mpg. Power Tour is next!

Its a blast to drive. Just got a new cam to match the build right. Should compliment the heads and make better power. Chris Straub grind. Solid roller. 240/242 @.050 .630 lift.

Is that pic kinda large?

Its not very Pro Touring looking. But it sure does handle a million times better than before. I have a little over 600 miles on the build. Its so different than before. 3.50 gears are perfect. Cam is getting replaced to mach the new build. Went with Chris Straub on a solid roller to match...

Same cam. Mild 231/238 @ .050 .610/.600 LSA 111. I make about 13" of vacuum. In the 496 it has great low end grunt. Rev limiter set at 6K. Its really responsive.

The Fitech fuel injection is amazing. I did the basic setup on the Mean Street 800 and then modified only 2 settings. My warm idle and idle AFR. What a great system. Works fantastic out of the box. Only thing I dont like is return to idle is very slow. But this too can be tuned out. On...

Thursday I took the car to get the exhaust done properly. Car is on the road. Friday I drove in and out of the driveway. Worked out a few kinks. Saturday I drove around the neighborhood. More kinks removed. Sunday I drove across town and back. More kinks to iron out.

First drive went wrong. Backed out of driveway and drove right back in. Timing somehow got retarded. Must not have tightened the distrib hold down amd was Bad enough to light a plug wire on fire. The key lock got stuck in the on position. I had to disassemble the steering column to remove it...

It Runs. Started on the first try, fired up instantly. New FiTech fuel injection system does not like the open headers. After a couple minutes it learned that the O2 sensor is right at the collector dump and it made a bold adjustment. The 20.4 AFR made it run pretty bad. I honestly am...

Getting closer.

I actually sold it Bill. To a kid in the Air Force. I checked up on him twice a year. In the 3rd year I started to pester him to sell it back to me. He caved and I bought it back. In the three years he had it the suspension was upgraded and he notched the frame. Drove it maybe 1000 miles...

Excellent. I can actuate with a hand!!
