    The carb we fired it up with was not jetted right, way to lean. Timing was set by ear as the timing pointer didn't match the balancer. The headers are 1.5 inches and choked the beast down(I had to modify a few tubes to make them work. Currently fabbing up a set of 1 and 3/4 inch headers to fit the Pro Top line heads(Racer Head service owned by comp cams now) Just test fitting stuff before the paint job.

    It was orange and white!!!! It is now a similar color to Thomas Hackmans

    The car was shipped here from Cali. Maverickman Knew the guy. His name was Jeff. I told my brother keep it original;) . He wouldn't listen:huh: :p He twisted my arm and the such.It has orange and black interior and is a true 73 grabber. The Dash pad is Black as is the steering wheel. The interior is out as I have not reinstalled it after the roll cage install. Carpet and headliner is/will be black instead of orange. Car was very clean. Bought for 4800.00 about 15k sunk into since.:rolleyes:

    If you want a full Black interior, I have one for a 73, but White with orange would have looked awesome!! I have a white and orange 74 Grabber that I just have to keep original.
