Got the 327 started and the new cam broken in today. Had a few issues along the way, including two oil leaks that I have to still sort out, but it ran again. I have to get my driveshaft shortened, my floor patch finished, and do some steering problem solving and it will be road worthy again.

Thanks everyone! I think it will be ready for Atco in the fall. I want to have it for atleast the whole summer to cruise. I will probably and go down and make 60' or half track passes until I am ready to get kicked out :-)
Here is one of 6 videos that CBRMike took today, he will send the rest to me whenever he can and I will post them.

Well it ran, then gave me a bunch of crap, wouldnt run on 3 cylinders. Come to find out, three plugs were not grounding and letting spark to them. New plugs, set the base timing at 20* and drove it for the first time in 2 years. That new cam/carb along with the 4speed and a distributor that wasnt messed up, all I gotta say is WOW. The carb isnt set fully, the thing still can take some more timing, but it runs and drives. Now its time to pull the new springs out since they lowered the car too much, fix an oil leak, re attach the 1-2 shift lever since the clip broke, and do some more cruising.

:lol: be careful what you wish for, Ill have to come up that way and make some noise while you're sleeping. Its sitting outside for the evening because I was way too overheated and exhausted to get under the car to put that shifter linkage back on.
