Aaaaaand I’m done-ish.

Just did a first start, at first I thought the exhaust was burning out a bunch of stuff, then I thought the rings were bad (it was a race motor, it came with another rebuilt race motor). I checked my idle screws, and they were turned out just over 5 turns. I brought them back to 2.5 and it smoked less. I have an AEM wideband, but I killed it last week, and it’s like pulling teeth to buy just the gauge from them, I’ll go with another brand next time.

The radiator mounted up okay, but I had to mount it super high, and without a fan. Mounted the overflow bottle (a flask) and the thermostat and radiator cap in an awkward position, but it’ll work.

Electrical was quick and easy, but I still need to trim up some wires. I’ll probably drive it down the block in an hour when I’m done cleaning up the tornado of a mess I made in my garage.


I promised a video, and maybe a bunch of pictures, so I’ll get working on that tomorrow
