Finally!
We have a running car...
Dad tried making a push to get it to a local track this weekend but as always with these builds final fitment on a few items pushed it out another week or two. We have a few items to tie up, wiring to clean up, make 20 passes up and down the driveway

and then we will be at a track near you!

Curious what everyone thinks will be a good baseline for timing? I'm assuming this SBC will like a lot but 38 degrees seem like a good baseline?

Eventually I will tune a 2 degree retard into fourth gear but need to see how the grid reacts to a manual and if there is much an rpm drop to tell when it is changing gears.
