Glen Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Actually had a few free hours last night and the weather was perfect. Was able to put about 40 miles on her and grabbed some pix before the sun went down. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can bet your [censored] that I will do my best to maintain it correctly. Speaking of which, pulled the carburetor off today to have my guy rebuild it… which is why I made sure to get a nice ride in yesterday. She ran great once warmed up, can’t wait to see what proper carburetion does… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know if your guy needs to become my guy. I would actually like to put the correct carb on my 71 SS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know if your guy needs to become my guy. I would actually like to put the correct carb on my 71 SS. I’m sure hoping so seeing that he also used to own a ‘71 SS. Pulling it off today he was kinda scratching his head as to why there was a metal gasket directly under the carb and THEN a regular gasket on top of a heat shield (and then another gasket between the shield and manifold). Earlier, he also determined that the secondaries were dumping fuel when they shouldn’t be. Won’t lie… After she warmed up yesterday she ran pretty damn nice. So if she runs good with a carb that needs work, I can’t wait to see how she runs with proper carburetion. I’ll definitely keep you posted how she runs once it’s all back together.

kpcsgasp Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Very nice car! I like you invested cash and minimum elbow grease. I figure my job is to take it out to as many shows as I can and let the public enjoy it 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure my job is to take it out to as many shows as I can and let the public enjoy it Yes sir, Kevin, thank you and likewise. I won’t even pretend I know what I’m doing mechanically past the bare bones basics. I’d rather spend money and pay someone who knows what they’re doing, than probably spend the same amount of money messing things up two or three times before I got them right.

I have learned, the hard way, if I start drinking all forms of productive work stops immediately. Too many issues. Lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If thats true, and it includes the drag strip, you and Doug have been volunteered to be my pit crew.
