    Pulled the carb off, just don't seem to run right, have a Holley Guru going to look at it today at the Emerald Coast Cruz-In, he volunteered his services after I told him I was having problems.

    pulled my rear spoiler off to clean it up and found a few paint chips. in an attempt to fix them I found that the spoiler had been repaired once before and had been painted over 4 times...:cry:
    soooo. I sanded it down to the fiberglass and did the repair correct...I took it to a friend of mines shop and he mended the glass, repaired a hole about the size of a dime that someone had filled with...body filler, blocked it out and primed it...:thumbs2:

    started the car today and its being temper-mental. its acting like it has a bad set of points in it. I havent had points for a while so Ill check the battery and start checking wires for something grounding out if not maybe the voltage regulator crapped out or is crapping out.

    Got the Holley 750 rebuilt, had blown power valve and was full of rust, I KNOW the rust didn't come from my tank, I have two filters on mine and cleaned the crap outta all the lines and related fuel routes!
    They cleaned and rebuilt it right there beside the resort and had it ready when I got to work.
