The manifold has already begun to change color. I wish I could just stop it right here haha. Hard to tell in the photo, but it basically looks like a bright brass. Im going to work on the timing tomorrow. Might be off a little because I cant see anything wrong with the way the carbs are set now.

So im having issues getting it running properly again. I believe I sorted out an issue I had with the alternator, but still having major problems with the carbs, timing, etc. It has a tough time starting and then it idles rough and if given any throttle it backfires and bogs down. Ive been through this before, but its taking me some time to get it diagnosed.

Sounds very timing/carb sync related. Throw a timing light on it shouldn't be to hard to get it running decent.

diagnostics are THE WORST!!! i'm trying to get a day job as a mechanic with the hopes of improving my diagnostic skills, among the other things I will learn.

Hey Keith - love the build! I've got a 66' i'm looking to bag - I've gone through the photos and printed a few out to work with a local fabricator for the mounts. I was wondering if you can recall the dimensions for the front and back mounts? Any pictures of the rear? Many thanks!

Wheels are back from powdercoat. Came out really nice! Drove the car down the street and it ran better than it ever had for two glorious minutes and then began to struggle. I limped it home a couple of blocks and now the head scratching begins..
