i don't know if you followed my new motor saga/nightmare/10 month of misery, but today was a very special day!
IT RUNS
yepp, it runs. almost perfect. lot's-o-power. schweeeet!
i got so excited, i was trying to emulate the blue jumping smily, but brad told me to quit it ...
here's what we did in a nutshell:
turned dizzy driveshaft 180 deg (into it's normal position),
adjusted valves correctly (thanks jake and what's his face, the guy whos name i forgot),
replaced the ignition system with a MSD 6 system, coil, dizzy, box, wires etc.
ditched the 40 webers and put in a set of freshly rebuild 44 IDF webers.
started her up, tuned the carbs and i was ready to fly!
gawd that feels gud ...
i was losing faith. quickly. then i had a blast on my ~40 mile drive back home from the shop.
well, until i came up on a cop car on 880. didn't wanna pass him because i have expired tags.
no need to push my luck for the day ...
yeah! thank you brad sir!

what venturis you have in the 44's?
32? 34? 36?
Why was the dizzy drive off 180 degrees?

Right on Andy! Congratulations. Now go drive the wheels off of it!
You get my special burnout smiley.
Woot!!!
Glad to hear all thats over.. To bad, its a month short....
How does it compare to the yeoman 6?
I've always wondered how a hot 4 compares to a hot six and a mild v8 (your 6 was 240rwhp I think, my v8 is 240rwhp)
Andrew
It'd be funny to have Euro-Tourists deported to Mexico, as a joke.
Like a witch hunt....
Congrats on the motor thingy, I wish I waas yuue.

I don't understand what was wrong with the carbs? Couldn't larger venturis, jets and other mods have been installed?
Based on the PO...those 40s were new.....wierd.
