Hi Tom what a surprise to see my old Falcon again !!!!! I owned it from 1988 to 1993 it started out as a straight 6 I swapped it for a 289 V8 never got around to the body work unfortunately. You have done a great job it looks superb well done mate
@@darrenpalmer6073 I can't remember off the top of my head but think it is a 600crm so should be good. It's running nicely now after the shakedown and re-timing.
@boydscultandclassic yeah fair enough I had one of those carbs on my 302 and went down to a 465 cfm which was a better fit for my combination. Yours however is far more warmer than mine.
Really enjoyed both parts of the video Tom. The car looks and sounds fantastic, look forward to your next project.
@@stew_foster thanks so much, I am really excited about the next one.

@@DarrenWhite-r9s amazing! It is such an awesome car, I am so glad you found the videos.
re stuff to see, i think show stuff that you find interesting and you are learning. i think most viewers want to see how this is actually done
@@londonman8688 thanks buddy, that's really helpful. I have been really pleased with the response so far and look forward to sharing more...
great fun useable car, surprised al the engine work and not a manual
Looks pretty cool. Sounds good.Enjoyed videos. Good luck. Did you sort out leading edge of roof lining?
Thanks very much. TBH, I only noticed it when I watched the video back. I will tidy it up before it goes off to its new home.
Try here in Australia for the parts they are same as our XR/XT and your pound is worth more than our dollars so it should be relatively inexpensive
@@darrenpalmer6073 Thanks for the advice 👍🏻
is the front bumper bar on the drivers side too low ? 33.38 looks like it need to be adjusted higher, maybe just the camera angle
@@londonman8688 yeah, in all the fun we had it rattled itself a bit loose so I have tightened it back up.
should both back wheels equally spin on a burn out ?
Not with an open differential. Any variation in surface grip will mean the wheels spin at different speeds.
Depending on the size of the Holley it might be too much carb for the engine combo

@@darrenpalmer6073 it does seem right for the setup. Always need to do a bit of fine tuning with a high lift cam. Got a link to any pics of yours?
