Next phase, next tank:
I am going to start with Carb. Mileage on odometer says 41K, so presume is 141K.
I started with carb teardown. There is extra "Stuff" on it. I will post pictures later. During teardown, I noticed coat hanger material wrapped around the choke shaft, and throttle shaft, several times. WTF.
As I tore into it, I found 2 of the 3 bolts that hold the carb base to the carb main body were stripped.
So I took off the extra "stuff" and separated main body / upper body / base, and set them into the carb soaker cans. Main and upper look AWESOME
I am going to tap out the main body, to a larger size for new fasteners, and rebuild carb, then run for next MPG update.
Next up is to start with some of the distributor and ignition modifications.
I think the HEI will be next.
Ideas are welcome, some might be tried some might not.
