Got a little more done tonight. Man, work really cuts into my productive time LOL. Picked up a timing light, got that fixed up. Got the idle mixture pretty close. It's still running a little rich at idle, I think. I'm not sure which one, but I believe it has a slightly "lopey" cam in it, and it took me a bit to remember that. Trying to get a nice smooth idle with that setup is a trip. But, once it warms up, it idles pretty good. Need to take a few more laps thru the neighborhood tomorrow to check for pinging.
I ordered a coolant overflow bottle from Quadratec, but when it got here, I looked around under the hood and have no idea where it's supposed to go. Have a sneaking suspicion its supposed to go where the washer bottle is....... but that the one that was there when I bought it. I can't remember if I had an overflow bottle or not........ but the one I got had mounting tabs that made it appear it was supposed to go on the back of the inner fender, on the curved surface. Well, on the driver's side is where my washer fluid bottle lives
At the front of that fender, by the power steering pump, is too tight
No more room by the alternator
So....... I figured it was only there for overflow. As long as I had coolant in the bottom of the bottle I would be good...... so here's where I tucked it......
Tomorrow we add exhaust hangers....... And the passenger seat. The daughter unit come in for a week, and announced she wanted a ride. I may let her drive it. The last time she drove it, right before the teardown, she sorta "skipped" it up the road LOL.
And for the record........ I've been experimenting with a bit of bourbon........ mixed it with some mango juice,added a bit of maraschino cherry juice, and I'm not sure what to call it, but it's pretty good. After about 30 minutes or so, I think I'll call it "oh
" LOL. At this point, typing is an adventure...... Before I type something stupid, I'm out.
