Re: Project “Blue Bomb” (rebirth of a 1970 c30)

Thanks guys.

I made some more progress today. Got the front brake shoes, cylinders, hoses, and shocks replaced, and got most the way through rebuilding an edelbrock 1406. The original q-jet has some issues.

My daughter having fun with the camera...

I learned a lesson today. Apparently throttle plate screws are staked from the factory to keep them from coming free and dropping into the engine. Well I sheared several in half before I figured that out so I had to drill and tap for larger threads. Doh!
