Starting my engine build

[Mrturner1]

Well here's another funny story. When I drove yesterday the throttle linkage pulled one of the spark plug wires off the distributor. So that was the exhaust leak noise and the bogging lol

I just drove it and it screams, runs cool, and has much more than it used to. It still needs a little tuning though, but I think the carb is fine as is. Here's what it does that I'd like to tune out of it. Idle drops way down when you put it in gear from Park, and it wasn't a great sounding idle either, kind of a steady cu-chunk ca-chunk ca-chunk instead of the nice big cam idle. No load throttle response is real good. And it did some deiseling when I shut it down. Never had it do that before, but this stuff seems relatively easy to fix
