My first car 72 Scamp
Finally got it fired up! Ran into some issues with manifold Fitment. I think these 302 heads may have been milled a little. We wallered (redneck word) out the holes a little and got it to bolt down and seal. Fired it up open headers. Man it was a blast. Did a quick tune and brought it out for local cruise night. It’s funny you roll in uncapped and everyone notices. The vht paint did not hold up well as you can see in the pics. Will try brush on bbq paint next. Someday I’ll Cerakote them I think.
Car needs a little more timing and probably a little bigger carb. Traction became an issue for the first time ever so that’s fun. No leaks. Debating on adding some cutouts just for fun. Glad to finally have the car going again.
For anyone interested, HUGE difference going from rebuilt factory heads and manifolds to ported 302s and headers. Whole different animal. Need to do some detail work but it runs again. Very happy.
