Got my neighbor's '62 Vette running today after sitting for years because it stopped running. It had a mystery engine and carb swap decades ago...so it took a little detective work to find out it had a 68 Impala 327 in it. The carb was some old beast double pumper POS. Changed the oil/filter, added STP for good measure, topped off the coolant, converted the distributor from points to electronic, new coil, added an Eldebrock 4bbl carb and new line filter, reset the timing from square 1, added fresh gas and cleaned the plugs and bam...she came to life. That old 327 is smooth as butter and very responsive. Not a tap or click one. Those old small blocks are amazing.
