Re: project thunder

starting 10 miles away in magna utah the seller got thunder out to the driveway before i got there, the previous owner before him had set the idle speed screw all the way in so we backed that out tried to start her up she ran for one minute and backfired out of the exhaust we adjusted the carb a bit more and this time a flame shot out the carb about a foot high so i decided its best we tow it unfortunatly i only had a rope with hook ends well lets pray it works hooked up my dad in the 64 me in the ford well 4 miles down the road the rope snapped in the middle of the intersection so me and two passerbys pushed it out of the way and then one of em said hed be right back with something to help low and behold he comes back with a tow chain i said if i break this i have some explaining to do well we got it home at a miserable 15 mph pissing everyone behind us off its here and its the oldest vehicle in the lot so ill try putting the new carb on and hooking the choke up properly, did find out the seat slides forward and there was a bottle of isle de tahiti from bath and body works near the gas tank and i found the original owners adress and number from 10 years ago
