Not at Flamingo, but probably Keystone.

Tomorrow I finish the job up since I had to order the brake cables.


Nate, approximately what did the full brake reworking run you? This is something MCR needs but I haven't priced parts. Any help?

Oh gosh...if I had to guess, it was probably around $150 for everything. I did the actual work myself.

Very small update. I still haven't gotten my rebuild kit from Jeg's yet. It's on backorder from Holley.

In the meantime, I bought a used carb. off a running van. Hopefully it's a good one. I'll slap it on tomorrow and see how it goes.

Poor van has been sitting up against the curb next to my house for 2 months. I hope no squirrels or cats have moved in. lol
