So. I bought a 70 Swinger. The car had been sitting for 20 years. In order to get it up my steep driveway and into the garage I needed to get it running or take the time in the dark to set up a winch. It only took about 15 minutes, a jumpered ballast resistor and some gas. It earned my respect that night and I'm having trouble making the decision to go V8. Compression on the front 3 are 135 and it goes down from there to 110 by #6. I'm working on a budget and I've found with other projects that if I keep the car runningish it will retain my interest.
The Holley 1920 is where I draw the line though. I haven't had a one barrel carb since the toro lawn mower I pushed around the neighborhood. It's leaking very badly now that I cleaned and replaced the fuel lines. Rebuilt kit is more than I want to spend on something I hate. What do you think I should do?
