Fully rebuilt the 350 holley carb and what a difference.
much much smoother, and the gearbox has followed suit.
now just some fine tuning to get the most out of her

almost ready to trust her on a long journey...  maybe make it to the big smoke to meet obsession

yep my thoughts exactly Johnno! but NOT for a coffee meet,it's to easy for lazy bones, we need to go to collie for a run / w/end .... over nighter how 'bout a couple of weeks (gees sounds tooo long) but just putting it out there?
OOORRRR I'm looking at going to Jurien for a fishing charter in the next two weeks .......anyone interested?

welcome aboard Stangas!!!!! where's the nearest c/park/ camping spot for a likely mob ?
Can I go play now...?

heaps of camping areas around my neck of the woods.

mate i am so happy with this engine combo i have atm...  it is running so sweet.
the final carb settings were..

Holden 253 v8 TH400 auto with holley 350..  61 jets, 5.5 power valve, a 31 pump nozzle and white pump cam on #2..  if anyone needs to go down this path again..  LOL

Booked her in for new shocks and bushes, and brakes are getting a once over..  skim if needed.
Need to seriously look at the dash board..  it is stuffed..  big time.
Door seals and window seals

Then start the paint prep and start searching for some flash looking wheels

Long term project is to make it a column shift auto...  using an F100 or XF falcon steering column.

All your window stuff that you want you can get from Universal engineers with or without stainless trim as for rims & tyres I've got what you want but they are brand new and cost $4500 but I'm selling for $3000 firm
Happy to be living past my "use by date" I was given 6-12 months to live in August 2007
