Hi, I read your complete thread, wish I had your talent, What is your "blue 4 door sedan HP car? Any chance I can get some details and pix? thanks-you Mike

I was gonna say its unfortunately not my car, its Charles’ (or 67valiant100s.) but it looks like he beat me to the reply. I wish it was my car.

Oil system primed and yes I did rotate the engine over while doing so. Makes about 55-60psi on the rebuilt original pump.

Thanks Charles, I remember that car now. Wow, I love it!

Was nervous to say the least but the 440 survived cam break in! This was with an out of the box 800cfm AVS-2 carb.

Quick clip of one of the first drives in the GT after the engine overhaul. The hood wasn't even back yet lol.

In PA you'd get a ticket for driving w/o a hood but in GA it's fine to do that.
