Tomorrows project is the rear differential gasket and new for it, drive shaft bearing thing that goes in the middle of the two drive shafts, the edelbrock carb i bought and air cleaner, along with some other little stuff that needs to be done. Hopefully will be ready to go by monday to get the exhaust redone. going to get a couple of flow masters welded on and have them run me on safety inspection and see if i can pass so i can start driving this beast every day with out getting tickets.

 

Here is the old carb (Rochester):

Looking good! Any reason why you didn't clean and rebuild the old Q-jet carb? They are a very good carb when set up properly.

 

The new one is way better quality and gives me a little more HP along with a different sound.

 

Here is a video with the new carb, also took it for a test drive, so much fun now! Really great truck, really pleased with the out come. Tomorrow it is off to the exhaust shop, mostly b/c i cant weld haha!

Exhaust Video (!!!CLICK ME!!!)
I had no idea what to say at the end, I ended up sounding like an idiot lol. Sorry.

 

Didn't see any link there for the exhaust video.

 

I had to use a different service then I normally use to upload it. It is going to take another 45mins for them to finish doing whatever to the file until it is viewable. Ill fix the link when it is done for everyone!

 

VIDEO IS UPLOADED!! Let me know what yall think!

 

It is a 350 5.7. Got some generic shoes from part store.
