Time to get started.

-
I removed the fuel line and rerouted my fuel line away from the front of the engine :thumbrig: and installed taller studs for the Carb, Yes I used lock tight on the studs in the adapter plate 8) Bolted down the Holley and it fired right up and idled nicely
I stepped out of the car and hit the throttle a few times and it squealed the belts good :thumbrig:
then she died and I looked in the carb and I need to adjust the floats :clock:because it was pouring gas down the intake :shock: No big deal but I have been bent over her long enough for today.
I know it don't seem like much but it's getting there slowly but surely :happy10:\\:D/ I will strap the fuel line down and put another filter on

I wish I had a video of it fired up and idling real nice and taking throttle like it did =P~till it started flooding out, But with the dual exhaust open I don't need to fire it up till I get the floats adjusted and as much gas I seen run into the intake I would say a good oil change is next after I set my floats 8)

Hay swedefish how ya been :cheers: Yea she sound's mean :toothy10:
I will get her all piped up and enjoy the 390 Holley and the dual's waggin made :cheers: and at 2.700lb's it should do a bit better with the pea shooter and the little stock exhaust gone :cheers:

here is another video I did after I pulled her out, I looked at my gas gage and she is setting on empty :stop: So I will get a few gallons of fresh gas put in her and carry on with my transformation

Looks and sounds awesome! Whatever exhaust you do, gotta have square or rectangular tip to complement the square lines of Victoria. In my opinion.

Thanks for asking Mike, been busy all weekend, the Fastback is still in the garage waiting for the first start up for the season.
Sound as a nice plan for Vicky, be sure to post more vids when done.
And as goldfish mentioned square exhausttips would be just perfect. :thumbup:
