    I'll see if the tuning has the range to increase it enough to run E85, that's a big part of why I wanted it. You'll know how it runs as soon as the last two fuel system fittings show up.

    Got another Holley from a friend today, now I have enough to use on this intake... It's not going on a GTO, this is a teaser.

    Used the force to lift the Tahoe... Hydraulic force since I'm not a jedi. Fuel leak and swapping a posi in the rear diff.

        Yeah I been trying to find the carbs. It's going to be awesome for what I'm building. Need a couple velocity stacks with filters to poke through the hood. Not the fastest thing ever, but it's sure cool looking.

          Yay Napa only took for days let than summit to get me two AN fittings. Now if I can get the Tahoe functional again, I can get the GTO going.

            Why am I hearing Ronnie and the Daytonas in my head right now? (Pontiac guys and old-timers know what I mean).

              Cleaned the shop after fighting the Tahoe for two weeks, and back at it on the GTO. If the 65 isn't ready to run by the time I need to leave for the cruise in Nebraska, I'll take the 68 or the 70 instead. Both of them are much closer to drivable.

                          Great work on the rust repair. Very few people would have tried to save that so congrats on saving a nice classic.

                            More like I'll be keeping my dad's Dodge running, the GTO should be quite reliable.

                              Thanks, after this one almost everything seems easy. I needed a 65 GTO, and this was the only one I found I could afford, so I fixed the rust. Hope to start it with the EFI later today. Them fix some body issues, and repaint soon.

                                Finished then tested the fuel system, NO LEAKS! w00t! Sorted the wiring, have to put the fenderwell back in to finish the wiring. Then I can see if it runs, and if I need to change the header gaskets. So much fun with headers.

                                Also got the PC up to speed so I can use my photobucket again rather than upload to BS from my mobile. So no more thumbnails...
