Re: "Outkast" 1985 C10 in Hawaii
She has a GM crate 350 and a 700r4 tranny. The 350 is topped off by an Edelbrock intake and 750 carb. I will go on the record and say, I loathe Edelbrock carbs and frankly, a 750 carb is too big for a mild 350.
I ordered an FiTech set up from JEGS... paid for it and waited. I also ordered new plugs, wires and heat boots so the headers dont melt the wires like the ones that were on it....
Got everything a few days later but not the carb... called JEGS and the carb was on back order and I wouldnt see it for at least a month so, I canceled the FiTech order and went to my local Oriellys and bought a new Holley 670 Street Avenger. I had one on my 67 and loved it!
Got it home and realized, I needed a throttle cable/TV cable bracket and another bracket specific for the 700r4. The stock bracket wouldn't work and no one in Big Island (small town) had Holley stuff. JEGS wanted to charge me $43 to shop those two little things to Hawaii so, I called SUMMIT and boom! $12 later... I was in. Pulled it all apart and realized, the accelerator connector was different too... another order and 5 days from Summit to my front door... PAINFUL....
