Oil changed, head retorqued, valves adjusted.
I have been going over the Weber carbs, couple of things to tweak.
They are such simple carburetors.
Making a heat shield between the bottom and the headers.
Looking at the AFR gage options, don't want to invest couple hundred bucks with something that will confuse.
Adding a low pressure oil light, after I get it installed I will run it thru a relay to do something other than let me know it's too late.
Need to get the clutch pedal out and weld the pivot hole smaller.
Still have some binding. I will put a bracket to return to top and rest on the bearing.

I found a lawn mower cam that looks interesting.
What do you think Slantzilla?

They are not confusing at all. I never remember to look at mine till I'm back in the pits. I plan to mount mine on the rear fender.

Maybe your review mirror as you drive out of their lives.

What I am reading and I know we have talked about this before, my short header extensions.
The sensor will be having a hard time reading and providing good data.
And the only one port is on the front 3 cylinders.

Correct. I had mine in a 4 inch header ext. on one header. Only reads 3 cylinders but worked fine. I now run 12" extensions.

Thanks Will.
Do you think David will install my front struts now?
LOL



I think that he is worried about the historical value of the car.

Yea, I know.
Me too, but at this point that might not matter.
