Thanks all!
It was great hearing it finally! Still need to adjust the carb a little.
Now that I got it running I am going back and rechecking all my wire connections in the dash since i had to pull it apart to plug in my wires to the ignition switch.
I never hooked up my cig lighter because i didnt have all the parts, so i will get those and button the thing up and finish my t-tops.
Get it registered and wait for the salt to get off these nasty NY State roads.
Thanks again ,
Joe

Joe, Ive been reading your posts for about a year or so and its so cool to see your smile and know you got the vette running. Cant wait to hear about your first drive down the road. Is it possible for you to take some pics of the hood and the back side around the wiper door. Im buying an extra hood and want to put a stinger scoop on and yours looks sweet from what I see. Again, congrats!

Rodney,
Yes, I was excited to hear the rumble !
Thanks for the comments.
If you go to my web site at the bottom of this post I believe you should see some pics of the hood.
If those don't help you then I will gladly send you some.
Let me know.
Joe

Joel,
thanks !!
It was fun !
I do have a 3-barrel carb but with the price of gas I choose not to put it on!
Having to run premium in this will kill me as it is!
