I did an apprenticeship so learned most of the skills to a basic level, but at my last job and current job now if I have nothing to do I'll just...
Fuse sizes is another one. If the fuse is a way too big of a rating for the current then instead of popping it'll just heat up and up and up......
Right, sorry it's been a week but work and stuff got in the way this week :( Anyways, I fitted the vac advance line to the carb and it started up...
Yeah, I think I'll try putting my vacuum tree thingie in the back of the manifold when I do the carb, it'll be far easier than disconnecting and...

It does look a bit dated so you might be right, been looking at a 600cfm 4bbl, electric choke Holley. I think this is right going off the mods I...
Won't be able to get a picture with the carb on the motor and cleaner off for a few days yet, this whole going to work malarky gets in the way -_-...
