It's a balmy -15 here, and this morning we are off to Lawrence's garage to put the carbs back on his /6 and adjust the valves.
Yoder and I drove up yesterday, and Ginter met us here. We spend the evening last night drinking, rebuilding carbs in his apartment and watching the Sopranos. Yoder is now hooked on it. BTW... a dead bug in your Weber carb does not make for good running......... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif) Gotta go.. Lawrence is cooking breakfast.

Got it fired up!!!
We changed the plugs and the car fired right up. It ran OK, but it seemed to miss. So we started checking, and we had one bad plug wire. The plug would fire, but with a weak spark and it would foul out. We bought wires for a SBC chevy locally and changed the ends for the /6 ends. Changed the coil in the process, and it runs great over 1500 RPMs. We can't get it warmed up enough to set the idle mixture and idle carb balance. We are back at Rusty's. Gint left shortly after we fired the car. Joe and I are leaving right after lunch. It's been a good weekend. I don't think Rusty will be taking a hammer to his car now......
