Just curious, where did you order the 11.75 brackets from?

and my 66 in high school

This was my 68 back when I was in college.

She did mine about 3 years ago. Amazing detailed work. Leanna was the best at what she did.

Always thought these cars were really cool, plus I'm a pontiac fan at heart.

Set the initial timing to 13 degrees today and have the idle mixture screws about 1 3/4 out with 17 inches of vacuum. Running good so far, hopefully I don't foul the plugs right away again. Only have about 4 weeks left and I'll have to put it away for Winter.

That's nice, looks really professional. You must have a fuel gauge hooked up to the back......good idea.

Yesterday I got the carbs back on, took it for a short drive to warm it up and then adjusted my fuel bowl levels. Shut it down and changed the plugs and oil. Today I'll check my initial timing and re-adjust my idle mixture. So far on the first drive, it ran good, started good, idled good.

That looks just like my set up, only you have much better heads :). If its not too much trouble, could you send me a picture of your fuel log set up? I don't really like the way I have mine.

You described my outboards exactly right.

I went to put in a new power valve tonight, I grabbed a hold of the old one in the metering block and it twisted right off by hand. It wasn't tight at all. I looked at the book and they are supposed to be tightened to 120 in./lbs. Could this have been the cause of my plug fouling? Maybe if...

If I remember correctly, it was reading around 6 psi when my gauge was still working. Now my gauge seems to be bad because the needle is bouncing around so much its hard to tell.

He didn't mention if the shifter would actually go through the stock 4 speed hole location. I wonder????

Good point. As long as I have the carbs off, I'll take a look at the accelerator pumps.
