Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop

Dad and I have ben working on just detailing it out (driver quality) under the hood. the firewall cleaned up really well and I think it's the original paint. It has a small dime sized spot on the driver's side where it looks like maybe the hood hinge bumped it at one time or something ? but other than that it's really clean. Just painting and cleaning what we can get to without pulling the engine. Someone has put an HEI dist in it at one time and #1 is turned around toward the firewall. We're going to fix that on Friday.

Question - should I put an aluminum intake on it while I have the dizzy out? or just leave it stock? It has an Edelbrok 1406 (I think?) on it now. It runs really realy well like it is, plenty strong. It has a factory 4bl spread bore intake on it.. so it's not completely stock as it is. Would the aluminum intake add to it or take away from the look? I'm thinking just save my money for something else but it sure is tempting.


Keith - I really like the look of that 'Gold' interior. Mine is the vinyl version with the 69/70 scroll pattern but it is that same color. I really like that steering wheel with it too.

I noticed CPP has a big brake kit / 5lug swap I can get for about $1800 (Same as ECE without the big brakes) yout thoughts?

Dad is working on the passenger side valve cover now. cleaning / painting for a replacement where the original one had pin holes in it. Once that's on we can drive it. He's likely going to buy my S10 for his DD so it worked out pretty good for both of us.
