No crying allowed. Just fix it.

U-joints suck... 1 down, 1 to go, then I can see if this clutch job was a success.

 

[jynx]

Backed out of the garage and to the end of the driveway and back under its own power!

Still lots of things to reconnect and I need to adjust the throw on the clutch, but it is mobile again. And we FINALLY got the title in hand, so off to get tags this week or next.

Baby steps.

Took a 2 mile round trip to church and back tonight. If the Speedo is right, got up to a whopping 40 mph.

Might be adding a parts pig to the herd this afternoon....

Stay tuned

 

[wngrog]

Parts pigs are very very handy to have

 

[jynx]

Well, drug off the trailer and where it will live for now...

1971, no title, motor condition unknown, but it is all there. Only thing I noticed missing are the headlight trim rings. Still has the 3 on the tree.

@Dustin Messina needs fenders

 

[Dustin Messina]

@jynx interested in fenders and some other parts.

That looks better than a parts truck at first glance.

 

[wngrog]

Bumpers are $ too

Great score

My thoughts too

shoot me a price on complete tailgate with glass. Thanks

 

[jynx]

Glass is cracked @wct49 right up the middle and in the corner. If you still want, I will PM you.

Also, i haven't checked to see if the regulator works. Lemmie hook a battery up and see if it will roll up and down.

send me a number.

Is it a flat piece of glass? I finally tracked down a shop around here that cuts it. Pretty reasonable.

 

[jynx]

I think it is. Looks like it at a glance anyway

So, do any of you have issues with heat transfer into the carb? We drove about 5 miles one way on friday and when I shut it down, it diesel'd a little, but otherwise no big deal, then I went to start it back up to move it, no bueno. It cranked over fine but clearly wasn't getting fuel. Pop the hood and pull the air-cleaner and my best bet was it was hot and boiling the fuel out of the bowl. We let it sit for a few hours while we burned stuff and drank beer, and when we left it hit on the first roll of the motor and off we went. I know the weber adapter plates are part of the problem. So I'm thinking I am going to see if the parts pig has the factory spacer still on it and if so rob it off for now and see if that helps.

Seem like a reasonable thought process? Any other thoughts?

Thanks
