As promised, some post crud-removal pics (although there's still a certain amount of crud and I know that)

The air cleaner has the wrong sticker on it, but that's okay because I'm planning to replace it with an Edelbrock Pro-Flow 1002.

As you can see, the firewall is still kind of a mess and there's quite a bit of rust in the cowl area which has been half-assedly cleaned up. Much to do here.

Still very pleased to have the engine compartment a lot cleaner than it was when I got the car. Planning to take out the parts that I can readily get out and sandblast, repaint as needed. Going to be an interesting spring.

Not finished yet (relocate and connect electric cables, original fuel line to carb, shock tower braces) but this was my last sight a few days before :heart:

Okay here is what was under my hood...It's a bit of a DOG off the line, but it will really BARK when you put your foot down on it, It does leak a little fluid here and there, and backfires once in a while, but (I may get in trouble for this one) it's a real good pussy getter.

YEEEAAAAH - cool:exclamation:

Lookin great, isn' it ?!

I love that massive old-school look without too much bling bling. And you have also the coil on the "wrong" side On the passenger side there are too many cooling hoses heating it perhaps up...

What's your intake? It looks like mine - Offenhauser. And your carb?

That looks good with that massive air filter but my space between hood and cleaner is not so much - I have a 4V spacer between intake manifold and carb, which is an 1970 Autolite 4300.

[Totalled]

Edelbrock Performer LB 351-4V, 750 holley, and 1/2" phelonic spacer. It's a 3" element for the air filter. I'm changing up the combo with an RPM air gap intake so I will likely use a drop base air cleaner with the "hipo" lid.

 

[timachone]

Ok, let's figure out how it looks after your installation

By the way: I like your rims! They have the original 1973 look but what are they? They are nice wide filling the rear wheel housing - I like that!

You know, Comp cams makes roller tip rockers that are inexpensive and really do add a noticeable power gain that would replace those stockers nicely... Just replace the push rods at the same time.

Wow, thank you! THIS is the way I will go in future after all other is done - I love the original look with some extra thickness - and they are really affordable...
