Hi folks...

Here's a link to a short little video of Plain Jane's first fire up...Keep in mind, this is right out of the gate, with zero tuning (floats are too high, idle is a bit high, timing hasn't been set or checked). Hope you dig it!

FYI I have three sets of mufflers for my Nova (all Hooker). I installed the quietest ones��.

What surprised me though is how mild the Bullet roller cam seems. I’ve had L88’s idle worse. Believe it or not, the camshaft lift (for example) is well over .750”. Big props to my pal Chris at Bullet for getting it so right. It has 10+ inches of manifold vacuum too (“smallish” carb has something to do with that..I’m pretty sure). That should give it some really nice driving manners��

"I suspect it will peel out pretty good though..😅"

That's an understatement. You might want to put another set of rear tires on order.....

When it warms up and the 12 feet of snow melts, would love to hear it just idle.

Great looking piece, you should be proud.
