i also cant get the cowl induction to work. i hooked up vaccum to the door it closes but when you rev the car it wants to suck itself in

Looking a lot better with the 4 speed stick...:biggthumpup:

Drives a lot better this ls5 is pretty healthy add 4:10 it’s fun to
Drive

In '73, I bought an LS5, M22, 3.73 1970 Chevelle. Original owner had swapped heads, cam, intake and carb with headers. Ran 13.10 on 26'' wrinkle walls for me.

Isnt there supposed to be an inline vacuum restrictor valve in the line somewhere that reduces the amount of vacuum so it doesn't try to break the door in half?

I have one

The cars looking great Rich, I'm jealous.

Thank you. I’d love to find a dated ckf rear for it and an m21 but those will be hard to find. I’m just going to iron all the issues out for now and enjoy it
