Charging system doesn't work.

Got an exhaust leak at the head on the pass side.

Need to sink the carbs & see if it will pass emissions.

Runs great though, no oil leaks, pulls strong, no smoke.

Looking forward to some (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif)

Accck! Get rid of that FRAM filter - put something decent on it. Junk!

Other than that, it looks clean clean clean. Good decision with Jake's 96's (I have a set as well) and Len's heads. That thing will run for a nice, long time.

Have fun with it!!!

agree on the Fram...

and this is just a pet peeve of mine which you are free to ignore:

putting a "No Oil" tag on the filler is confusing. does that mean you shouldn't add more, because it's already full? (or that there is no oil in the engine? ...)

IMO - the "No Oil" tag belongs on the coil wire that is taped to the side of the coil, making sure you can't start the engine until you address the situation...

Can you enlighten me to what the advantage of changing the sparkplug from a 14mm to a 12mm is?

Heads tend to develop a crack between the s/p hole and the valve. By going to a s/p with a smaller diameter you add more material to the area and it won't crack. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

I knew someone was going to flame you on that Fram filter (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif)

It does look good. (Of course it will never look like that again.)

Keep going, great job. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif)

I knew I would get a flame job over the (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/stromberg.gif) filter. What can I say, I am a CSOB I have 3 Mahle filter on the shelf in the garage. Running non detergent oil and (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/stromberg.gif) filter for the fist 50 miles, then I will change the oil & filter and adjust the valves.
