      Why did you drill the intake to hook your vacuum advance to "manifold vacuum"? Vacuum advance is suppose to be hooked up on "port vacuum" Why are you running vacuum advance anyways? I will have to watch the Horse Power build/dyno but im pretty sure the ran mechanical advance and locked it out. your 427 is gonna run like shit with vacuum advance.

      Wild Bill even the 80s cars are getting up there. I’m old enough to remember when 87 Monte Carlo SS’s were $800 for clean stock one owner ones (right after the 60s and 70s desirable muscle cars skyrocketed in price). Now there are more like $5k to $10k. Even 3rd gen camaros are getting dumb expensive. I’ve seen more then a few IROC/ Z28s for $10k to $25k. Mustangs are much better. They are $4k to $15k depending on body style and engine. The convertibles are a little cheaper. Of course there are crappy ones they you have to tow out that are rotted or half of it is missing. They are $2k-$3k.

      Agreed, the 80’s cars are getting recognized now as an investment. But only clean examples and special editions for now. You can still buy Regals, Monte Carlos, and Cutlasses. The Mustangs are good because it’s prior to fuel injection and people steer clear of them for that reason

      And even if you would drill it on top of an engine, why not use a vacuum cleaner inside the intake instead of paper towels? If you take those out wrong you are screwed (padumts) just as much as when you don't use them at all. With a vacuum cleaner behind it I can guarantee that 95% of the shavings are gone before hitting the insides, and the other 5% can be sucked out as well. But yeah, why not take the intake off.
