Re: "Project ShortHaul" The Build Journey

So I drove her into work the next day, and she really started running rough. Eventually when I left to come home this morning, she would barely idle below 1k rpm. I had to get her towed home

I pulled the plugs today and they look like a coal miner coming out of the hole... Im pretty sure I'll need to do some serious carb tuning and perhaps some work on timing. Also replaced a header gasket hoping to cure the awesome exhaust leak it had.

But luckily I have my expert in all things automotive to help me out

Gonna hopefully tackle some tuning this weekend. Im pretty useless at tuning carbs, so I'm going to enlist some buddies, but id certainly welcome any advice, tips, resources from you experts out there!
