Well, thats pretty descriptive.... Just kidding. You can rung the numbers to see what year the mill is. Carb type should be writen on it somewhere. What are your plans?

I am not really sure what I want to do. My engine runs pretty strong and doesnt over heat, but car seems not to accelerate as well after like 30 mins. of driving.
Also my electrical system is screwed only my RPM gague works. It sat in a garage for a few years after they put the new motor in. Thanks i will try to look up some numbers. I just want to make it faster then it already is.

wow, if i was him i would call the cops and report it stolen, guess who wouldnt have a car anymore.one word"liability". do you have any guardians, such as a mom or dad, grandma, grandpa, aunt uncle, who is in charge. please sit them down at the computer so that we can talk to some1 with some common sence.

hold on what are you saying. Why would he report the car stolen he gave me the car but I cant put the title in my name till i am 18. I have only gotten one ticket and it was for seatbelt the other times were just cops being a-holes cause they see me doing stupid **** in my car. ahahah
