Small SC360 update
When I bought the car it had old American Racing Slot mags on it. I decided since I want to use the car this year I’d get new tires mounted on them. I also found NOS hub covers for them. I still hate the look of radials but I didn’t feel like spending 1200 dollars on bias plys so I spent 750 on new T/A’s. The headers are finally done and the new mini starter is mounted. Just need to finish up the wiring and it should be ready to crank. I bolted Purple Hornies to the collectors so it has mufflers on it. The throttle linkage is kind of done. I cannot for the life of me find a throttle linkage bracket that lines up to the stupid Edelbrock carb. I already hated Edelbrock carbs and this issue isn’t helping the matter. I still have some wiring to finish up and a bunch of small tie up work. But I think if I get a nice day or 2 I can have the car running again. Thanks for reading.

Seems like with your talent, you could make up a bracket for the carb. I start with a solid piece of cardboard, like a cereal box and start cutting, bending, and imagineering what I think I want until a shape starts to reveal itself and refine it from there, often, it's nothing like what I first envisioned. Some days, I use up all 4 sides of the box making "prototypes" and it may take a few days of letting the shape materialize in my mind to get where I need to be. Keep an open mind and let the shape become what it needs to be, not necessarily what you "think" it should be...
