Yes stock lock mani and a relatively new Carter YF. I'm unsurprised the tuning is off, I slapped this thing in quickly and tuned it by ear (albiet a very untrained ear). Didn't even have a timing light. Didn't think I'd be driving on the motor as long as I have beenWas running lean. . Is that a log/ 1V ?
I got ya. . Really glad to get an actual wheel power pull, especially a stock log. THANKS! . . The log intake is terrible on the 300. I've posted about it before. Below 2100 rpm the carb is too big for the intake, above 2700 the carb is too small for the intake. The '79 with the 2-something awful rear gear never sees 2000 rpm under normal conditions, including 55 mph. (303 trans). Under any sort of moderate load, vacuum runs between 2" and 5", less than half throttle. Now wonder it gets 10 mpg. . I always felt like the carb was rich under those conditions, so interesting yours read lean. Valuable info!Yes stock lock mani and a relatively new Carter YF.

I got mine through Dennis Carpenter. LMC sells them as well, prices are $80 each from DC and $50 each from LMC. General consensus seems to be that the DC parts are better quality than LMC.That's still progress! . . Where did you source your hood hinges?
Thank you! Came from LMC TruckLooks awesome. Where did you get the core support from?
That's one way to do it!My next Door neighbor behind ran a Top Fuel Dragster and he was on a Busy Main Street, so he just Cut a hole in the back of the Garage and added a little addition on part of the back wall big enough to get it quickly under wraps.
You're doing fine. Get as much of that grease and grime off with pressure washer, some degreaser and a wire wheel or brush. Scrape the flat spots and don't worry about getting it down to bare metal with a grinder. Some rust on the surface, (as long as it isn't flaking off) gives the rust paint something to grip. I used an undercoat/rockerguard gun to spray on Tremclad rust paint, same as Rustoleum, better price than por 15. Brushing works good to, just takes longer and harder to get at some areas. Will post some pictures when I get a chance.
By the way you have a very nice project going on there.
Ugg.. HOA’s. Great work. What kind of connectors came on the wiring harness? Metripack?
