Ya I know to change the oil, and no I just ran normal Quaker State 10W40.

Just as a personal preference, I prefer the Holley over the QJ because of tunability. Though you will get better mileage with the QJ due to the smaller primary butterflies. Less air, less fuel.
How many miles on it?

The Red colour is what colour the block used to be back in the late 80's, I have never heard of someone painting the inside of there block before! Also the Holly will not bolt up to my different intake, the Holly was designed to bolt onto the Drag intake it came off so I have no real choice but to go with the QJ, unless I want to cash out another 600+ dollars for a new Holly carb.
And for millage this thing was a US van to start off but the dash cluster shorted out 7 years ago and sense then has had 2 other clusters in it the current millage is 188,769 (CDN) but I'm saying the engine is up around 250,000 and the van is gotta be well over 300K.
