Description: In this episode we'll be picking up the pieces and covering a lot of the smaller things we have done to the car over the last two years (almost exactly). We never knew what kind of camshaft was in the Chevy 350 engine other than the behavior we had observed, so we'll use a dial indicator to measure lift at the rockers and make an educated guess. We'll also try to work out issues with the idler arm boot, change the oil and cut open the old filter, modify the hood scoop, change some carburetor gaskets, check up on some old work, and finally just drive the car! It was always difficult to get a good sounding recording of this car but we finally got some half-decent audio of high RPM downshifts and acceleration. Combined dashcam footage and an audio recorder in the passenger seat to get a good mix and try to capture the experience. We'll also talk a bit about plans for the future of the car!
