[99 to Life]

Jan 18th weekend.

Well, it has been cold and I haven't had the engine running a lot. Past couple times, it has ran real bad. I think because of the cold. I tore the carb apart to check the floats and then readjusted the idle. She is running better now, but still blowing a crap load of exhaust. Let me know what you guys think, I am still learning these basics of tuning. Exhaust coming up in the engine bay is because the reducers at the end of the headers need tightened to the flex pipe, I need another person to help me tighten it, and I have no help right now, so it is loose.

Next weekend, I am hoping to have my new gas tank and sending unit so I can put the tank in and be done with that. Last thing I need to do/figured out was my clutch pedal was hitting the floor before the push rod could travel its full distance. You can see in the pic, the slave cylinder isn't fully extended (pedal is all the way to floor). So next weekend I am hoping to fix that issue, clutch is bleed good, it just isn't engaging enough. If I can iron that out, put the running boards and fenders back on and she is pretty much done. Got to hook up the ebrake still.

added some more insulation to the cab, got my pass seat belt in, and bolted my seat in for good.
