She is alive!!!! Looks like the starter is hanging up a little...not sure how to fix that...I got the starter from a friend so maybe swap it out for a new one. I will post more videos when I get her going good.

Well boys she runs under her own power!!!! I will get a video tonight and post it. It was raining yesterday so just spent the night going through and making sure all the bolts were tight. I can not wait for her first burnout!

Update: Got the brakes all sorted out finally I also go the shifter plate finished and just waiting for the paint to dry to install...next on the list is to shim the starter and tune the carb with new jets...never done this before so if anyone has good pointers chime in please.

Well car as a miss and I am trying to track it down...I can tell the engine is not running at 100% but still pulls pretty strong. Will update when i figure out that issue.

Tracked down the issue I think...Looks like two wires made there way to the header and melted...my own fault for not double checking...also swapping intakes as well...will update later this week..if the right offer comes along I will let her go but until then I will still work on her.

Car is no longer for sale..just gonna get her tweaked over the winter and we will see if we can get her to the track next year...thinking a 533 build over winter....we shall see!
Project Black Bandit is back on track!!!
I also am barrowing a bigger carb from a buddy so we will see how she runs tonight...if I can get some one to ride along I will get some video.

Thanks you guys!! The car is missing pretty bad right around 3k....i checked compression and everything is within 9 psi of each other(115-124. Plugs look saturated with fuel in the thread area and one plug on #7 was black like its fire every other time or something....The carb now is a 750 with size 66 in front and 72 in rear...good clean idle response but dies out at 3k rpm. Maybe MSD box is bad? Maybe low voltage on battery so not enough volts to run the MSD box?
