Re: Project "Tracy Lee" 59 Apache

OK:

I finally got some video up on Youtube of this past weekends progress. We put on new MSD 8.5mm wires and new MSD cap, rotor, coil and dust cover. We also got the brakes set up and hung the Flowmaster Super 40's (temporary but will pass inspection).

Seems after some research it seems the power valve on the Holley Street Avenger carb has blown out. There is no power starting off but once she is going...she accelerates quite well. We did have a couple of BIG backfires thru the carb while setting everything up so the power valve is my guess. Any other ideas???

We still need to re-seal the tranny pan and there is tranny fluid leaking from the back of the driveshaft yoke in the tranny. Besides that, all I need is to pay for new tags, get it inspected and I'll be driving to East Texas for REAL paint and body work!
