    All checked out fine. Actually, before we even though of starting her up, we checked timing, compression, then drained all fluids and replaced them together with new plugs and wires. We then replaced the fuel pump and carb as well.....still the same. That's when we took it off again and this...

    Don't get me wrong, the car is purely unmolested and sat inside the garage for 25 years. My first car in 1969 was a 65 GT. I love the contours of these cars but this one is completely mind boggling. Now, I have a car that I can't even start for a period of time because it's so loud after cutting...

    Thank you for all that info. With regards to the "check balls", will it make a difference if I had 1 ball in there instead of 2? I remember just putting 1 and put the carb back when I noticed there was another one laying around :D.

    Thank you! You're right, we did manage to replace the fuse after 30 mins, scraped knuckles, and a stiff neck :D I still haven't tackled that one yet and more concentrated on getting her road worthy. Still having bogging issues which is really mind boggling. We will try to disconnect all the...

    I'm in CA and the car being 75 doesn't require emission testing. Are there other emission stuff that I can remove?

    Ok folks, here's an update: We changed the fuel pump, rebuilt the carb took her for a drive and STILL bogs at 30 - 40mph. What I can think of next is the catalytic converter or all the emission equipment. She did sit for 24 years in the garage and I'm not sure if all that carbon settled in...

    Like what i mentioned, I bought a carb. However, I bought a Weber 32/36 which I thought was similar to the Holley 5200 that came stock with the car. Boy was I wrong!!! The throttle is inverted in the carb! I mean the throttle cable from the car pulls while the carb pushes. We installed it and...

    Thanks!! I did get some center caps from ebay and put them on. However, one is a little flimsy and I'm afraid to lose it if I hit a bump on the road or something. Yea, I don't have the speaker grills but I do have the carpet pieces that were cut out to install the speakers. I just bought a...

    Hmmmm might as well replace the carb and fuel pump all together to eliminate the guessing game. What do you think? :rolleyes:

    About the bogging issue, it's definitely the carb (jets). We poured fuel additive and about 2 gallons of racing fuel and took her for a drive. Now, we hit 60 with no problem just cruising around. She still bogs though at WOT. I'll drive it around and see if the additive does the trick before...

    About the switch, yea I did turn it left and right too. It does turn the dome light on and off but.......still no instrument lights. I also bought a switch (just in case it's the culprit).
