Started the motor today

Well after sitting in the car for the past 1.5 years. The 502 came to life today. WOW what a sound. Open headers.....:cool:
ya, don't know if the the neighbors are mad...but who cares :devil:

Know I need to tune the carb... :confused: how do you do that?
When it was on the dyno they set the floats and idle, but now I at 4000 more feet in elevation. I might have to take it to someone to tune it up for me.

Well, you sound excited about that. Maybe its time to keep it now......:yes:

Ya your right. I was so excited last night I could not sleep. So I decided not to sell it.!!!!

Good for you. :clap:

Ha! I knew it - nothing gets the enthusiasm back like the rumble of open pipes, the smell of 116 octane exhaust, or the grins on everyone's faces when it fires up - and they are all going :yes: "this car 'is' the big dog"!!!

Congrats! :D

As for jetting, the basic rule of thumb is 1 step per thousand feet in altitude.

Good for you. Hope all of us telling you not to sell also worked a little. You will be so happy in the near future that you did not sell it. Summer is around the corner

oK, SO I have a prosystems carb that was alll set up for the motor.
I know how to set the floats, however it has 4 corner idle screws. so how do I set these?

I would call ProSystems and tell them what has changed(altitude)since they set up the carb for you and get their recommendations.

On a happy note, pull your for sale ad since you're gonna be cruising and playing with us now.

I Love the smell of a new engine!
