Re: Ellie Lou the 72

Ellie Lou is running.

Gave up on attempting to rebuild the Quadrajet and swapped over to a new Edelbrock to get her going. (Yes, Quads are great, but my rebuilding skills aren't there yet)

She's running off a click-clack Mr. Gasket electric pump right now, going to try and see if the old mechanical one is working soon.

Checked the brake fluid today, still full after nearly 30 years!

Debating on whether to get the TH350 rebuilt or swap in a 700r4.

This build has had a lot of stumble steps, but I feel like I'm making real progress now. Hoping to get it off the trailer and into the shop soon.
