Make sure to guide coat it and use at least a 12" block and it should turn out fine. My quarters n doors were shot and now straight as a arrow
Been busting *ss trying to get this swap done. Bunch of dumb hurdles...and nickel and diming me
But the motor is in and runs. This 'perfectly' set Holley is not. But ill figure it out.
I still have to tidy things up and hook up the throttle and other things. Wire up my new gauges and then im doing a massive burnout....in my damn garage :twisted:

In the last week i've completely removed the fuel system and nitrous systems from my car. Sold it all locally for darn near what a new upgraded fuel system is going to cost me. That makes me happy because there isn't much cash outlay on top. That also helps me explain it all to my wife!!! Also learned how to degree my cam this week and its easier than i thought. My plan is to be the fastest guy in my town and beat all the guys who use nitrous just using all motor!! I ordered a new custom grind cam as well and i'm looking forward to what it will do for me.

Is that an oil separator mounted to the left inner fender?
Do you have the PCV tapped into the brake booster line? Was there no port on the base of the carburetor or at the rear of the intake manifold?
Correct. My set up is goofy. Carb has NO ports on it. So my brakes and pcv is running off the fitting on the backside of the intake. And i drilled and tapped the right side of the plenum to run the vacuum advance and vacuum switch for the converter lockup.
I got the can for free so I figured why not use it.
Today i got a 1/2 off so i drilled and mounted the throttle linkage and then hooked up the trans linkage and tidied up the wires and whatnot. Did a tiny burnout and turned the car around in the garage so i can work on the gauges tomorrow.
I should be driving her tomorrow night!!!

Hey malibuguy, next time your snappin pictures, take a shot of the converter lockup switch. I know some of these cars came with them and am curious how the factory setup worked (reliable or not) I ditched my aftermarket one and just control now with brake and dash mounted switches. Thanks! Nice work on the swap.

The vacuum advance should come from a port on the primary metering block; it should not experience manifold vacuum. I can't tell from your pictures whether you are already using that port for something else. There are really no ports on the side of the metering block? What carbureted application would not require a vacuum advance port?
