I just rebuilt the 780cfm holley put a trick kit in it last weekend but I haven't started it yet. The gass went to the pan before I rebuilt the carb Got Ethanol shield I put in the gas tank. The engine is an LT/1 350 with 400hp. so I would hate to ruin the engine.

Yes I set the floats by turning the bowls up side down like the instruction said but I haven't stated it yet I still have to change the oil. but I did a compression test on cylinder's. Four cylinder's are 130 psi and three are at 100psi and one at 75psi. So I put some oil in each cylinder and tomorrow I'll do another compression test.

The konck was that I put a dent in the oil pan when I was putting it in the car. I was letting it down and the host went to fast and landed on the cross member and put a dent in the front. So I took the oil pan off today an knocked the dent out lucky I did cause the oil filter screen was on the bottom of the pan. Going to put it back on tomorrow. I felt like a $%^$##$%^
