A serious lack of enthusiasm,, but finally the new pump gas street motor is running and ready. Had a number of setbacks that drove me nutz,,, but FINALLY the little pump gas 383 is ready. Spent some time yesterday rebuilding the 3310 and getting the idle / jetting / timing and all ready,,, Just doesn't seem right only having one carb to screw with!!! LOL,, it may go back to a 2-4's on the tunnelram yet,,, Just have to decide on WTF to do about distributor if I do (large body HEI won't work,, and I was going to sell the digital-6 / probillet / E-coil,, but..... ?)

Still have some tuning to do on the pump shot but damn it's nice to work through small issues in my little breakin stand rather than fighting it over the fenders

Now just have to build a TH400 more suited for street and it's ready for the road.

Building it for street duty, but I'll take it to the track to finish the tune (while the data logger is still there) and then it's going up for sale
