    It acts like it needs the timing advanced a little. Is the vacuum advance hooked up? I think you use a vacuum gauge to sync the carbs somehow. Nice car, I always liked the vent glass in the 68's which they didn't put in the 69's.

    First thing is that is has 2 different types of carbs and no way to know what cam is in it or the degrees of the timing is set at. Small block with 2, 4 barrels is pumping a few CFM's so hopefully there is the right cam, rockers arms and heads to back it up. Love these Chevelles, and wish I had the one I built back.

    duals on a sbc can work and def look cool, Corvettes had 'em from factory '56-'61, but gotta have coordinated cam specs and timing, proper advance curve, low rear end gears, pref a Muncie, and keep the rev's high. I think there's more going on here that just 'carbs out of sync'. Lots of these back in the day that ran great on the street/strip, but its gotta be setup right. I'd get rid of the fake SS badges...never understood pretending to be something you're not...its a Malibu which is fine as it is. love the stance and fat E/T's.

    You really need to get those carbs adjusted or put a 4 bbl intake and carb on it. That way it's right when it leaves and If the new owner wants 2 carb setup then they can pay to get them synced up

      @Buddy Wiser // Exactly! That's the set-up you need to make this a nice reliable cruiser, and would be the first thing I changed as soon as I got the car home. The second thing would be to swap out that noisy fuel pump for a standard volume one and mount it near the tank outside of the car where it belongs...😄👍🇺🇸

    Guessing:
    The car didn't run out of fuel when you turned off the buzzing fuel pump.
    With Two Fours I am guessing that is a second fuel pump to supply enough gas to feed those two carburetors when you put your foot down. One quiet fuel pump for normal driving.

You can build it to look just like Nick's, or any way you want. There are some great reviews of the kit right here on YT. I just ordered one on Ebay. Hang in there! 😄👍🇺🇸
