Finally got mine running well enough to drive around a little this afternoon!!
The SMI carb I've been dealing with is going out for repair. Replaced it for now with a Summit rebuilt Qjet I had ordered yesterday & was delivered this AM.
Took a gamble on buying it but it does work satisfactory.

If you pull the summit carb off and decide to sell it, hit me up. The ramp truck could use a new q-jet but as little as I use it I haven't been too motivated to work on it.

Try Ken @ everyday performance. I was VERY happy with the QJet he rebuilt for my Monte Carlo.

I've had SMI do the carb on the Chevelle and the Camaro and could not be happier with them....I love it that they got rid of the QJET bog. The Camaro does use more gas than before though.

Finally home so I worked on the car trailer. Got chrome center caps and lug nuts for it today. New spare on it and now it ready to go for the season. Rain now so the Chevelle sits in the garage for now.

I actually washed mine today. I think that it has been over 7 months since she had a bath, pretty bad huh ? lol I didn't do much else because I wanted to take her out and drive. Oh yeah and go to my first car show of the season. Great night out with my son Jacob.

Wife and I took the Chevelle out to the local burger place tonight. Her idea, I almost fell off the chair when she suggested it. She usually wants nothing to do with the Chevelle.
