So, after I rebuilt the 4150 Holleys, I had to make a flying trip to Houston, dropping off and picking up tires, and James re-installed the carbs. He had changed the plugs and wires, and cleaned the fuel tank and lines, changed the oil and filter etc.... They charged the battery and cranked it a bit with the plug wires off to circulate the oil then sprayed a little starter helper in the carbs, and she fired right up... She was idling really high. This was yesterday... Today, I adjusted the linkage for the carbs and got her idling really nice at 900ish RPM's... she fires right up and runs like a top... Gotta love them old school small and big block chevy motors...
Tomorrow, Friday, we may put her on the dyno and make some easy pulls while we verify the timing advance and make sure everything is ok... then I might take her for a short spin around the area... Brakes, transmission and everything else seems in great shape so far... We found a couple of minor lighting wiring issues we will address and a couple bulbs that need to be replaced...

I can believe the 'flying' part too... "Keep your hands in the vehicle or we will go airborne"

It was in my truck...I can't afford to drive the Camaro all the way to Houston,
my calculator doesn't go high enough to figure out the fuel costs for that trip...

A long time coming, but here is the record mile pass video...
I'm continuing to pray for Justin and his pending recovery. The second half of the video is a photo tribute to those near and far that have supported me along the way, and it is not all inclusive... I didn't have photos of everyone on my laptop, but I thank you one and all...
