quick update, and sorry for the delay on updates guys/gals, been super busy at work & home...
Clutch leak is fixed, made a throttle cable bracket, robbed two springs from the original carb, and have them temporaried in for a return spring, and have cycled the linkage & it seems to be all good....also had to do some R&D mods on the intake to accomodate the little coolant line that runs from the t'stat housing to the cold coolant pipe that runs behind the head (used to tie into a short piece of hard pipe that ran under the oem intake)....looks much cleaner now...
so after all that, I almost cranked it this weekend if it wasn't for a couple of fuel leaks, one was my fault, the fitting was just a hair loose, the other was the check vlv that I installed, was leaking, and I couldn't get it to stop (mfg defect), so one leak of my own out of the plethera of fittings & line, not bad if I do say so myself!
So I have to round up an -8an union to replace the check vlv, get it installed, install my a/f gauge, adjust the psi at the regulator, and cross my fingers that what my weber book says is true (the jetting they came with is what is reccommended per overall cylinder size and or overall engine size and a few other yada yada's)if that is the case, it should be make sure both are flowing the same amount of air, and tweaking a few adjustment screws.....we'll shall see & I'll keep ya posted....
