car starts right up, ut takes a little while to warm up and stay running,installing amanual choke would fix that, ut i have always just sat there feathering the pedal.i dont know much about carberators, have been told that when you have dual quads you need to have them synced and adjusted together every year or so depending on how much you drive it, have never done that in 10 years, he car has strong exhaustfumes when running, t runs good when warmed up, but would probably run better if the carbs were synced and tuned),drives good, nd is VERY FAST!

after owning the car 6 years, painted it flat black with 5 rattle cans of Rustoleum.i pulled the motor and transmission out, leaned, e-greaesed and power washed them. i painted the engine, nstalled new trans pan gasket, il pan gasket,exhaust manifold and valley pan gaskets, alve cover gaskets and all the chrome on the engine, new plugs, ires, ap and rotor, tc. about 6 months later i bought a home.so,.. thecarhas been sitting, havent put 200 miles on it since i purchased my home 3 years ago. i installed a cork gasket on the trans pan, fter sitting 3 years now, he transmission is leaking a smallspotunder the car. i also noticed the rear passenger wheel cylinder is leaking and fluid is running down the inside of the rim/tire. car needs a hole cut in the floor boardto acces the top of the master cylinder to add fluid, r you can pump it in, ar still stops fine, ut needs the rear brake cylinderreplaced. the tailight pocket needs to be grinded down and some more welding to finish it off (if you want, t is sturdy and not going anywhere, installed it, ut iam NOT a welder so itjust looks bad) the rear drivers tire has had a nail in it for almost 10 years now, fill it upabout 4 times a year

car has a few small dings and dents, ome rust holes on the rear drivers side door, nd cowl. it has a small amout of bondo under the taillight that is covering dents from someone who was pushing the car with their body instead of their hands, he gas tank needs to be removed to bang the dents out and remove the bondo
