That was a great square body find. You don't see many that are that clean after 35 plus years. Can't wait to see it when it is done.

Thanks!
Makes 2 of us. I've hopefully got about caught up enough on stuff to get back on it in earnest. Gotta hang some plastic in the shop and then it's game on again! So far, I've painted everything outside and limited alot of the sanding to outside, but at this stage, it needs to be indoors to finish priming and paint.

Better part of 2 years later, it still feels like a good find, so that's good, lol.

I just purchased a timed fuel pump relay I need to install. Fuel system is a bit unconventional since the engine is a Mark VI 454 (late 90s Vortec EFI engine), stock, but running a vacuum advance HEI ignition and a 4bbl carb. Those engines don't have provisions for a mechanical fuel pump, and currently running a single inline pump (dual tanks, don't want to deal with in tank pumps in both tanks, because everything works good as is.
Right now, it's not dummy proof. Key on = fuel pump on continuously. This relay uses a tach signal to trigger pump on, after a 3 second "prime" with key on.

Did fire it up yesterday. Hadn't lit it off in several months now. She sounds like she's tired of being in the garage in pieces!
