Ole' California Gold got some upgrades lately. Many of them from @Racer65. New led lights which are awesome, upper oil cooler pipe, plugs and wires, radiator overflow with window washer reservoir and new pump, fuel pump and filter, new radiator hoses/ fuel lines and clamps, new radiator and shroud, new emblems etc.

Post-mortem on the carburetor is complete. The power piston was frozen, meaning the power valve was open all the time.
And, just when you think you’ve seen it all...the last rebuilder scraped the EGR plate and glued the carb back together with red aviation cement! It remains to be seen if the plate is salvageable.
Every time I shrink the file size to try and save bandwidth, my pics get rotated. Have to remember to ask @woody about that.

I just got home from a week visit to Austin, TX to visit some friends there and came home to another present. I have received my carburetor back from @65swb45 or Mark's Off Road that underwent a rebuild. I almost don't want to put it on my rig. Marks work speaks for itself. Thank you Mark!

Finished up on the new carb install. I installed new stainless steel fuel lines as well. Started right up!
@65swb45 Thanks again Mark! Now will CC pass smog. That's next :rolleyes:
