New rear seal and new pan gasket

The main oil galley cup plug is also leaking. Cleaning &replacing would have been easy at this point. But oil is cheap.

If I had plugs for the air rail, this would be running now.

In the mail now.

Brilliant! I wondered what those 2 M8 bolt holes were for on the alt bracket.

Been driving this around for awhile. I have everything dialed in but just not happy with the carburetor.

Sent this one to Mudrack for a rebuild.

Lotsa paint!

Since it's going on a desmogged 2F, might wanna add ported vac for the vac advance dissy and discard the TP.

Newly rebuilt carburetor installed. Topped off the tank w 91 octane, added some fuel treatment and took it for drive.

Runs Great!

Time to work on tightening up the steering.

Might be time to install the Bib.

Speaking of fuel, how often does a grass fire come through?

 

[D'Animal]

I heard there was a grass fire in the early 1950's on the neighbors ranch.

Edison Electric started it while working on the transmission lines that runs across the neighbor's 10k acers.

Those last 2 pics belong in the artistic cruiser thread. ....

Tree fell across the road at the ranch.
Got home from work and noticed a wet spot under the passenger rear tire. It appears that I blew a wheel cylinder.
I guess I will add that to the things I need to do.

I drove it to the ranch anyway.
