Snowman,
Good job! It sounds great. Sorry to hear about the tach/ dwell meter. We have all been there. Better it than you!
I think Titen is fine with you being on here, I am. He just is one ornery old cuss. (JK)
With the work you are learning lots. It is good to get a grasp on how the different systems work together, even on a old car like this.
For a 15 year old, I am impressed.
Main thing is, when you start driving that car. You will be watched likea hawk, that car will stick out like a sore thumb compared to modern stuff (both good and bad). Cops will remember it. Be safe with it.
That engine runs good, wait till you test drive it before getting any carb. I have lots of never to be used 1 bbl carbs.
Also be sure to look over all the brake lines on that 40+ year old car ( both metal and rubber ones) they will kill you or someone else. Tom
