So what are you going to put on those for shoes?

I'll swap the white wall's on there. Me personally, like the way they play off of the interior

Whitewalls work with the white interior.

Today, I got the carb back from Phil. Wasting no time, that got installed. Great day for a road test!

Sweet😁

Looks like I need to rebuild the master cylinder. I'll have a good pedal, then just okay, to only be good again. Kinda screwy. It needs plug wires. I have a set, so I'll get those installed. In all, I'm happy with it

Nice cool day up North for a test drive. You can check the heater.

The plug wires made a noticeable improvement. The engine picked up 100 RPM with that change alone. Of course, the difference in the product is detectable. When I'm bored, I'll install new plug wires inside the braided sheath. That requires some time and patience. The original is the wire on the top......

And there she is.....just about finished. Ignition timing is set @12 degrees advanced @750rpm. That gives me 38 degrees all in. Topped is off with an NOS A212CW I had acquired recently

Next, I'll rebuild the master cylinder and put some more miles on before I switch to the knock off's. I want to get real familiar with the car before switching over to a wheel like the factory KO's. That way I have a real solid baseline in order to detect if there is not something right with the KO installation. I had one of those come off when I was about 21 years old. You could say that gets a little rough on the bodywork.

Such a beautiful Vette. Can't wait to see it with original KO's. Keep the pictures coming. Thx.
