Decided to give the new carburetor another spin on the interstate since the last time I did it I spun my harmonic balancer apart, it ain't fast, but it makes a whole lotta noise getting up to speed.

Pardon the wind noise, it was very windy and my door seals are er... Pretty much dust at this point.

How are you finding visibility of the speedo during the day? I can't see mine to save my life.

If the sun hits 'em right, it's anyone's guess. I never have liked this style of speedometer apart from the cosmetic side of it, though I'm more function over form, so, I don't really like it.

Yeah, runs great, idle is a bit rough at times, not sure why, but I'll figure it out eventually. Just gotta get an alignment, replace the heater hoses, and probably swap out the air cleaner 'cause I've heard some horror stories about those edelbrock cleaners like the one I've got.
