    Looks good. What kind of chrome breather are you using?

    Cool. I thought maybe you had located an original chrome lid factory setup for
    a 6. I have never seen one, but who knows.

    Glad to hear you got it running Dan! I was just thinking earlyer today about the damper in that '76. Did you have any problems with the exaust pipe sealing to the manifold?

    Nope ... the new carb did not come with the little elbow that contains the check-pin for the fuel going into the bowl. Of course I've thrown out two of the little suckers within the last two years .... :( I need to put up a post looking for one. The car is running right now without it but I heard it will not run well ...
