I fired it up yesterday, but couldn't get it to idle properly. I opened the hood to discover fuel pouring out of every joint in the Holley. Apparently I can't rebuild a carb, this is the 2nd Holley I've rebuilt and the 2nd that leaks. So I swapped over an Edelbrock carb I had on my 65 Fargo. No more leaks and the car idles properly.
Over the last few days I mounted the front bumper, headlight buckets, headlight bezels, remote mirror, door handles, NOS trunk lid, and better trunk trim.
The plan is to get it road worthy so I can drive it to the house Carmen and I are buying, and then go from there. I have a plan in mind to give this a cool 70's paint scheme, wide rims out back, etc.
