New 383 Build for My Son's '68 Dart

A little update. My son's been driving the car to school every day. Had to install a shroud so it would idle in traffic without overheating. Still a little finicky about that, but workable. Might go with a slightly smaller water pump pulley to up the pump and fan speed at idle. At anything above idle its cool and happy. Running 14 degrees initial which it definitely likes. Still need to check total timing to see if and how much vacuum advance we can dial in. The car has a resonance at 11-1200 rpm that will set off the shock sensors of cars in neighbor's driveways as he idles by.... CHIRP...CHIRP....CHIRP... Above that its fine. After a couple tanks of gas, it looks like its getting about 8 mpg in town, including a lot of sitting in the school parking lot waiting in traffic. I'd say that's not too bad.... Haven't taken it on a longish trip yet to check highway mpg. We'll try to get another video uploaded once we've got everything dialed in completely.

Thanks to everyone for all the help and advice during this build......

Oh, and here's a photo of the completed, running installation...
