Will do Danny, will do!! Might even be able to toss in a page or two on my new cup holder..
 
Welcome back Bud!! I hope you are doing well.

All is well in the land of Nod...I even have a tech-ish post or two I'll post up later....
 
I miss your thread updates, always a good read. Hope you are doing well!

Thank you sir...Been crossing a bridge or two...But, I do hope to be back in the thick of things...I think I can write a page or two on my new cup holder, the election, and an economical guide to possum hunting. < It is the other white meat....
 
It's been a day or two since I've posted anything..Trying to limber up the two fingers I use to type. Sent a box of "Carb", original 76, over to Jim for a massage..Came back looking good!!

Took me awhile to mount it...

Welcome back Brother....! Good to hear from you. Are you officially a graduate of the "Dothan school of aerodynamics"?? Maybe you , Ryan and I can get together and sacrifice a brain cell, hoist a tankard and tell or re-tell tails of grandeur!!??

Decided it was time to add a new alternator. Picked this up earlier in the year and have been "eyeballing" it ever since. Ran into some difference of opinion between me, the alternator and an unwilling fan-belt. Given my proclivity for approaching things from the oblique, it turned out differently than I anticipated...

Old regulator was original OE from what I can determine...Replaced it when I added the new alternator.

Added a "Hard line" to the newly rebuilt carb. Only one section of line was sacrificed during the process before I mastered the automotive art of rigid tube bending...New olives and nuts.

Agreed!!! Yes lets put something together!!!!
 

Thanks for the assist!! My two typing fingers are a bit rusty and spell check never really gets the intent of your "message".
 
I have always heard that West Virginia is the land of "Hills, Whores, and Liquor Stores".
