Hello all,

Well, like I said, Christmas has come early to me in Arkansas. I have finally got around to purchasing the Holley 715 carb for my Shelby. I have wanted one since my Dad and I first bought the car. It had a Holley 750 double pumper when we got it. I pulled it several years ago, because it was totally wore out, and just threw a Holley 600 on it. Since I am just about finished with the two year "fix-up", I felt it was finally time to make the purchase. I am so glad I decided to do it now. When I talked to Carl, at Carl's Ford Parts, he told me he only had two or three left and that was going to be it, no more, nada, zip, zilch, forever. He said that Branda was almost out as well. Seeing as how he sells to Branda and sells for 200 less then Branda I had no choice but to jump all over it and get one headed my way.

I am soooo close to finally getting it back on the road I don't know what to do with myself. I'm not sure I am going to remember how to drive it. Of course now it is such cruddy weather here I probably wont be able to drive it until next spring.

Anyhow, I just wanted to share a little of my happiness.

Have fun everybody!

Rob,

I really hope the weather gets a little better too. I drive the car year round, weather permitting of course, but I am thinking now that it is going to be a long nasty winter this year.

Trust me, I will be enthusiastically posting when I finally get to drive for the first time in so long.

Great job on getting the carb you wanting. Keep us posted on how it turns out with new test drive.

Hey everybody,

Well I received my 715 Holley on Wednesday as promised. I finally was able to get time to set it on the motor and snap some pictures. I hope you enjoy the view, I know I REALLY do.
