100% and a big AMEN!
It's a gorgeous car. How about some more pics...a general all-round and inside show?
To the 'add this/check that' parts...why? 11" of vacuum is terrific! My 340 runs 5-6"...and the brakes work just fine (vacuum brakes), so what's to fuss with? If yours uses a quart of oil every six months? Big deal. With that much vacuum, there's not much wrong with it to worry about. That figure can most certainly get higher with a decent tune, too. If it can't, SO WHAT?
I'M your age. I'm interested much more in driving around than rebuilding anything OR fussing with this-n-that.
DRIVE it! Have FUN with it.
Certainly, a tune-up is a good idea. If it's not broke, don't fix it.
Disk brakes (master doesn't look like it)? What rear? If most of it's stock-ish... there aint' NOTHIN' wrong with that!!
WILL it run better with 'more'? Sure. Not necessary! I ran 11's with a 650 Holley. Your 650 AVS is just fine. Very tunable, too. Hint: ALWAYS stuff something in the carb if you take the needles out!! You don't want any, 'I heard a 'sproing'...but I can't find the spring,' going on.
Fantastic. Good job. Excellent car!! I'd be so tickled pink at such a car I couldn't stand it. I LOVE that year!!
Only thing it's missing is an 833!! ;)
Uh...isn't 'Nick' the guy that was never going to own a 340? I may be wrong 'bout that.
