Even though it is an automatic stick will check that first.  Was able to figure out some other problems.  A mechanic friend of my son looked at it and helped with the carb install.  He also set the timing and points etc.  After rechecking them today, and looking at my “idiots” manual, found that he had…[Read more]

Steve and Peggy

Thank you for such quick responses to my question.  Yes it is a fully built car and runs, although the seller says there are some minor carb issues.  Your responses are very helpful and gives us a good starting point.
Will be picking our “baby” up this Saturday and will post some pics as soon as I can.
Thanks again
Steve and Peggy
