I got it buttoned up and running this afternoon with the help of two good friends. Earlier this week I attempted the same and the Edelbrock suggested fuel line kit was complete junk that leaked horribly. So that got returned and I made a trip to A-1 Racing Products in Ivyland PA. Brad is the...

I am finishing up the swap from the KB marine intake with Edelbrock 500's to the Edelbrock 7524 intake with 1912 800 cfm AVS carbs on a 1968 RR with a 478 Hemi. The previous setup had 7" round air cleaners with 2" tall elements. Since the spacing on this new manifold is smaller ( 6 7/16") I...

Just an update. I talked to Ray on Thursday and my carbs are done and everything is ready. I'm planning to drive out to pick it all up hopefully early this week. The goal is to get it swapped out and on the road to wake up my neighbors on Easter Sunday, haha. I'll update this thread with my...

Good Luck with the hotel search. I booked a room about 2 months ago and it was slim picking back then.

Welcome from outside of Philly as well.

Thanks for the warm welcome! I got a room booked and will be driving it to the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals this July.

It still has the original paint and vinyl top and is a numbers matching car. I have the original engine, trans, rear, hood and associated parts stored away. Rolling on weld draglites powdercoated black and adapters so it can sport the dog dish for a sleeper look.

Thanks for the warm welcome .... here are some pics of the Buick for those that asked.
