1968 Barracuda Notch 340

Yesterday was a milestone, got the 340 started in a big way but an inlet bowl fitting leak won the day. Brand new carb but I swapped in 5/16" fittings to accommodate the smaller tube nuts on the SS tubes factory looking dual feed kit. Today I reinstalled the 3/8" fittings with adapters to Male barbs and will run fuel hose for now. Waiting for ss tubes to respond on switching nut size to 3/8" . I will say the 15 seconds of run time really blew me away, this thing is one cam loping high strung pissed off small block. Maybe body and paint ain't that important, lol
