After 4 months of neglect I finally pulled it out adjusted the carb and went for a ride. Came back and took the doors apart to clean and lube the locking mechanisms so I can put the poppers and solenoids on I've had for 5 years in the tool box. Gonna be nice to push a button and have the doors open up.

With the new hydro-boost set up coming and now that vacuum is no longer of importance, I made a call to one of the popular camshaft makers with some proven combos over on TC.
Chris Straub is designing a new cam for the 496 that according to him may not give me much more in the way of peak power but said it will be much more noticeable across the power range and give me a power band that is 5-600 RPM greater in both directions. Duration should stay pretty close to the current 240/244 but will be on a 107 LSA vs the 110. Everyone who has a Straub stick seems more than pleased with it so I am hoping for good things! "Hi. My name is Eric. I am apparently never satisfied with the current state of my Chevelle"

Picked my car up today and drove her home. YEAH !!!! What a joy it was getting onto the e-way and giving her a little gas. With the EFI it turned right over, I had to give it one little pump on the gas pedal to keep it running, she was cold, after that it ran like a charm. It was so great hearing the roar of the engine and just driving my car.
Now it is time to give my car a good cleaning, probably in the next few days.

Just got in and it's after 11pm. Started working on the car around 1pm today. Here's the progress we made today. Hit a couple of snags, one I'm missing a rod that connects the reverse lock out to the steering column and the frame bracket. I'm also need to replace the clutch pedal rod between the pedal and the Z Bar. Hoping I can find what I need tomorrow. If I had the wiring harness I need and the parts above this car would be running tomorrow. I have to say thank you to may friend who is letting use his shop the next few days.
