I got it home today
Haven't updated this in a year and a half. Carmen and I are buying a house, and I've decided I'd rather drive this to the house than to tow it. So the past week I pulled the intake due to a broken carb stud corner, and to re gasket it. I pulled an Edelbrock RPM off a 60's pickup I have, and rebuilt the Holley 750 double pumper which had about a 1/4" of varnish sitting in the bottom of the float bowls. I pulled the fuel pump and cleaned it out, and installed new lines. I'm swapping the tank out with a cleaner one, since it had bad gas sitting turning to varnish for a couple years.
The engine has a Mopar purple camshaft which is good news.
The clutch on my truck went, so I had Carmen driving the Valiant, which was towing the Cuda out of the garage.
This car has been dry since 1989, and I pulled it out of the garage today. Sure enough, we had an insane rain storm which had rain overflowing out of the gutters, and a small river heading down the driveway. At least the car got a good wash.
