Well, the fridge repairman didn't show... left me hangin'...

I'm gonna go to Doug's and he's gonna fix my car at 10 AM and then I will get on home advisor and find another repairman once I know when I will be home to schedule an appointment....
 
Almost 07:00. Goodmorning!
Have to unload a trailer full of Fargo parts. Load up the travel box for the trip, fuel up and hit the road. 90 mile trip to the car show. Saw a glimpse of a corvette, mossy green,427 manual transmission with a factory holley 4bbl. All original, one of one. Going to be a fun day.

Yep, he had some wheels for sale once about 3 months ago and I asked for better pictures of the inside wheel lip, took him 5 day to show how badly pitted all around them, I did get members pm me saying I could buy new and all, I was not interested in them, just wanted pictures for all of the members to see .. he is a card ain't he.

So I have a buddy locally who’s got a 440 build going, he’s actually building similar to my combo, just with ported iron heads instead of the RPM heads im using. He called me just now to talk camshafts and we looked up the one I ordered in June, so glad I did. Both Summit and Jegs have it as a special order with an estimate of 01-14-2022 as a ship date.

I have a buddy that had an old big block MP camshaft he wanted to sell... brand new, never used, he's had it for decades... I wonder if he still has it....

My dad had a stock 76 charger with a 360 that got 20 MPG.... It had a 25 gallon tank and could go 500 miles on a fill up... We had to stop to pee before we needed gas in that car when we took long trips....

Ya, think im going to give up on this carb. Will see what happens tomorrow.

I like Holleys.... List 80457 it's like the standard 1850 600 vac secondary, but comes with electric choke and calibrated for a late 60's v-8....

4.10s.

but I have a secret weapon, T56 Mag with a .50OD!

The high axle ratio will have a high driveshaft RPM... I would rather run lower axle ratio and higher gears in the trans to slow down the driving RPM of the driveshaft and reduce wear and tear on the drivetrain....

Just my theory...
