Fired the 283 in my '53 5 window!

Got the re- built 283 that i put into my '53 five window started. Right now I'm going through all the new engine birthing pains, adjustments and tuning.
I wanted an old school look under the hood so I'm using the small Rochester 4CG carb, black cap points distributor and Chevy orange paint scheme. I've got good oil pressure and no engine oil or coolant leaks but low vacuum (11 in.)
Sounds great through dual exhaust with turbo mufflers. Pictures to follow.
