Last night, finally rebuilt my quadrajet (took it a part over a year ago :oops: ), got rid of the edelbrock/carter pos, quad bolted up, linkage hook up, did a test fire, put the air cleaner on, finished rough tuning, and went to shut the hood......sh*t....It doesn't fit under the hood anymore :rofl: . Lucky me I had a short paper element that I was able to use on my testdrive, lol. So today, is find a drop base air cleaner, and hope for dry pavement road test :lol: .

Took the top of the carb off and readjusted the float and used the new little tool i got and adjusted the M/C solenoid and airbleed...... Car now runs better than it has in years... Still not back to 100% yet, but making progress.

Put my hood back on, header, installed the radiator cover and shroud. Wired up the alternator and battery. Ordered a shifter for the 200-4r swap and let the car down off the stands to check the stance.....looking pretty good. All I need to do now is to get my trans and driveshaft in, throw on some duals, and figure out how to make a bracket for my tv cable so it will fit with the 2bbl carb set up.
