Out of Whack Old Steed Shows LT-1 Whos Boss!

After I put the heads on that I shaved, ported and polished extensively, I didnt really have the chance to see what she can do, except once when I had Tim C in the car with me.

It provoked a "Hot Damn!!" response from him. Shortly after that it started giving me charging problems occasionally, then the radiator blew out (it was the craptacular original) I replaced it with a 4 row, then I started having real bad charging problems so I stored it for too many months.

Now that I took the generator off and put the alternator on, I Cant wait to get her tunned and running right. I dont have the Vaccum advance hooked up, Havent adjusted the points in about 3 years, Carbs in need a dire attention ( a complete rebuild, or retire it and put a 600 CFM double pumper on

) Shes running way to rich, has sticking float bowls, and all kinds of other stuff that needs tweaked. Oh and the Timing is all goofed up. For some reason, I have three marks on my dampner for timing, none of which seem to be TDC.

I was surprised as hell to catch him and pass him, especially since he had a car lenght on me before my car started REALLY rolling.
