Hi Jason Recent back surgery has put things on hold but have learned a lot about edelbrock carbs and idle circuit before my surgery last Monday. First I checked for vacuum leaks by borrowing a friends propane tank with special wand to direct propane all around intake and carbs. No leaks.
A friend who has been racing Mopars for a long time epoxied shut the air bleeds and was able to get engine to idle at 850 rpm. It idles well but is running rich and plugs are pretty black. He has a set of drill bits finer than needles and will start with the finest drill maybe .010 and drill holes to lean it out a bit and while he says the E Street heads are not his choice ( crap in his words)He will make them work with the Comp cam he installed. Also bought a couple sets of calibration kits so he can try different metering rods. Friends have offered to get Lexan windows replaced by a guy in St Pete, FL. and Body guy will start to finish body and paint while I am laid up for a couple months. Interior if done and looks great. I learned a big lesson. Speed Shops are there to sell you parts. Mopar friends are there to tell you what works best. No more speed shop advice especially those who race big block chevies!
I had my surgery in NC but Spring and dry asphalt will be here soon also. Sold my wooden floor trailer and looking a nice used aluminum feather lite with electric winch.
Hope to go racing later this year.

JASON Pictures show original car I bought I have since rebuilt the engine with new cam and alum E Street heads New roll cage, floor pans, new alum firewall, all new wiring, fuel cell, lines, pump, brakes lines and master, new alum firewall, and all the little stuff that adds up in a hurry like powder coating, ceramic coating, etc. etc. Attached are pictures if you care to download them.
Plans are to go to upholstery shop next month for new headliner, carpet, pro car seats and harness, then to paint shop again since the fabricator ruined the paint with bed liner overspray. Only decision left is what to do with the windows. Side windows are easy for Lexan. Not so sure about the front and rear, but may want to replace glass instead of Lexan, unless I can get really nice Lexan replacement. Not sure who does it. I love the old nostalgia gasser era cars. Will submit finished pictures hopefully in February as I am planning 3rd back surgery first of the year. Too many rollover accidents I believe Cool car!!!!! Wow pictures when u have a min to send me some plz
I like the old cars especially the gassers

> My Belvedere is an old straight axle drag car from the 60's that I am restoring to period nostalgia with fresh engine, wiring , fuel, brakes, pans, cage, interior, and exterior for show and quarter mile fun. After a year into the project I now remember how easy it is to spend $20,000 more than planned on a project.
