Timing

When you get the lines correct, (Please see a manual) then set the timing at 7-8 degrees advance, with the vacuum line off the dizzy, and plugged, and at...
Sold Cruiser
Scott, Thanks, it's kinda a love hate sale, I loved the Cruiser, but my knee problem overshadowed the love! It went to Bisbee, and a good home! Earl
Vacuum hook ups
Hi, the one thing I see besides the "no check valve", is that you have the vavuum advance on the distributor direct to the manifold, it should be to the capped, ported vacuum outlet on the carb, just behind where it's hooked up now. You don't want advance at idle, and thats...
Dash cover
Hi, I re-covered my dash with Cool Cruisers of Texas' cover, arround $55.00. IT glued down ok, but had to put several braces from the seats to hold the bottom edge, and weighted the top at the same time. HTH, Earl

Juke, I used Bill Dorey's mount, and it uses the original pedistal holes. I centered the box, and re-installed the pitman arm with the wheels in the same position as before the arm came off the old box. That worked great, and was simple! Keep it simple I always say! Earl
Aaron, You may have mixed up the rocker shaft standards, I did it myself. There's only one with a drilled passage! It's the second one from the front! Good luck, Earl
