My french Firebird

[Bozo38]

Hi all,
I am a new on this forum and present my Firebird 68 400ci manual gear. I bought it last november in France, I sold my Mustang 66 for this wonderfull car I dreamt since I was 20.
The car were arrived in France in 1970 and had 2 owners the 1st was a garage owner and done some changes on electrical wiring and the second owner were a youg passionate guy but didn't used a lot since 2014. Now it is mine and I will keep it!!!! I will have some work on it but I will take my time because it cost money...
I will be in US April the 21st to visit my dauther and I will come back with full of pars in my bag
I am happy to be on this forum to share passion and information about cars.
Here my sweet monster!!!!

Thx Melsg5, but why should I pay to have main information i already got with vin and engine number I am so happy to know the engine is from origine:
Now I need to understand how the Rochester carburator is working. It seems better than Holley but not so easy to understand this architecture and need to find a lot of document on it
As I live in a region were in the morning it could be cold and hot in the afternoon and we can a lot of t° variation.
Something makes me happy too, the car is in complete origine engine, it was really different with my Mustang 66 with 302 engine from 71'
