So I am essentially DONE with my carburetor swap ;]
The only thing holding me back from firing the car up last night...was my fuel line from the regulator to the fuel log was leaking at the fitting[which figures..because that was the ONLY fitting that I did not install myself, it was already on the hose when I got it]...I was simply too tired to want to deal with it and just went to bed. However my fuel pressure gauge did build up 6.5# of pressure so that is about right.
I also made my base line tune for it and uploaded it to my MSD.
EWP is installed as well as my mechanical oil pressure gauge.
So now I'm just eating real quick [I woke up to a full PAN of fried rice that my mother had made before she left....MMMMMHMMMMMM] and then I head out to start going over everything and double, triple checking EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE.
As excited as I am to finally have her fired up and hear her idling again for the first time in a year..I'm deathly terrified. So keep your fingers crossed for me guys!
Oh yea..I was just told the other day that my new block was finished and that my new custom crank, rods, pistons were all ordered for my big build
