almost got it running
Got the headers in, tranny and converter all bolted up which was a nighmare. I needed a new trans mount and autozone gave me the wrong one twice. ended up going to o'reilly's and got the correct one.
carb went on ok, but once I put the bracket for the throttle and TV cable, one of the bolts was too short. Figures.
We then proceeded to get all the grounds hooked up and make sure we had fuel. And did we ever. leaked all over the place! Also adjusted the regulator the wrong way so instead of getting lower pressure we pushed too much and fuel shot out the bowls, blew the clear sight plugs apart as well.
So with fuel all over the place we decided not to try to start it and let it air out. I need to get some smaller hose clamps and some teflon tape for some fittings as well.
Needless to say it was a bit of a frustrating weekend, but at least it is together enough to fire up once we get the fuel quirks worked out.
