Just get it over here Cazman. We’ll take care of this young fella.

Dana, this carb is a little different then most Holidays that I've seen in that it has a left hand thread idle mixture screws, see top right corner of the picture. You probably know all about this already though.

Yes sir thank you, I have been acquainted a few times and they aren’t exactly a “holiday” they ain’t no picnic either.

When I picked up the "Parts Car", I was really looking for a date-correct 440 engine. My convertible project came to me with an incorrect 383, and I thought I would pull the engine out of the Parts Car and use it in the convertible. The Parts Car was so nice, I couldn't do that, and a little later on, I found a correct 440 engine for the convertible. Here are a couple of shots of the convertible right after I got it running with the new 440:

Wil: I've been thinking. . . How about we bring our convertibles to the Garlits Meet / Horse Park in November? I feel like I'll need another AutoTrain ride right about then.

That would be great Rip. I thought it would be ready for the meet last November....Wrong!
We need to locate someone with a 67 Red/white rag top Sport Fury to join us.
I'll have my people contact your people.... Wait.... We have the same people.
