Well been a while since I've posted..
Here's a few videos from Sunday..Gotta give thanks to my buddy Steven for helping me out with adjusting some things and for making some passes in the car. A couple weeks ago it got really loose on me on the big end. It made me sort of nervous I guess, and I've developed an over correcting problem from it, just need to get use to the car again. The car still needs a few things, bump steer kit, some caster/camber plates, and a new manual rack, the one I have is getting a lot of play in it..

That last one was frikin great. I was wondering if that was a jug pass followed by a bumper replacement for a min. Very nice work!!

Do you have any side profile shots with the hood up? I am wondering how much carb to hood clearance(on a stock hood) you may have if any. I am doing a 5.3 in a 92 notch as well and plan on a carbed set up with the MSD 6010. Thanks and good running car

Eric

Well out with the old and and in with the new..While I have the car down waiting on the converter to come back, I decided to do some updating. Moving battery to the trunk, adding push off kill switch, adding 10gal fuel cell, and ARC flat panel. I have the battery and switch mounted and ripped all the old wiring out from front to back completely out. Will be rewiring everything to the new switch panel..
