Ah, there's my comfort zone, a carburetor. O0

The Skylark is looking nice. You don't see too many of them at the cruises around here. Looking forward to seeing it completed.

yes.
and that carburetor is sold, im getting a 750 HP holley in a week or so :dancing6:

Mr. OAM · Sep 14, 2007

Sorry I am not up to speed on my GM engines by eyeball, but is that a 350?

I suspect that with the bigger carb and that fuel line that it is built for upper RPM performance? The 750 is a good sized carb for this sized engine, presuming it's a 350, when built for upper RPM duties. If the engine is built otherwise that may be too much carb for it.

I like the older engine compartments much better where you've got room to work. On my '68 Charger I actually used to sit ON the fender with my feet resting on the exhaust. You can't do that today.

Nice to see someone your age into an old classic like that. Find a feather duster. :
