Getting a '73 Swinger Back on the Road

This is everything disassembled and cleaned


And finally all back together with new parts from the Holley kit


Swapping out the 2 barrel BBD wasn’t too difficult. Here’s how it looked before I began


And with the intake manifold removed, it was nice and clean in there


I thought this would be a good time to replace the long length of rubber hose coming up from the fuel pump with steel line


Here’s how it turned out




I bought the correct throttle bracket for it, and was able to modify the 2bbl kickdown linkage to get it all to work


Starting it up I ran into a hickup where it was only running on one side of the dual plane. I posted a question about that and got some very helpful advice from the great members here on what to look for. Turns out I had one of the gaskets on incorrectly (or perhaps used the wrong gasket, since there were a few different ones in the kit). With that corrected, it ran beautifully. I'll see if I can find that thread and post a link.
