This Saturday we had another meeting of the Car Nuts.
In attendance was
Tom Deyle,
Len Ball, Jack Dennis, Norm
Biggar and
Donald Goodman.
This is what took place. The
following items were installed:
Carburetor and fuel lines
The new forward pattern shifter
Transmission coolant lines
Radiator hoses
Starter and cables.
We crossed our fingers and hit the start button and nothing
happened, what a let down.
For some reason the start button is not sending power to the starter
solenoid, we jumped it. On hine site I believe that the starter
safety switch on the shifter is not working and that is why the
starter button is not working. I will have to look into that.
With the starter solenoid jumped the engine cranked but had some
back fires though the carburetor. The firing order was messed up,
plug wires on cylinders 5 and 7 had to be switched. Cranked it again
and it fired right up.
It was good to hear and uncapped engine again and smell race gas.
We forgot to have the run of with the practice tree, must have been
the gas fumes!!
No car nuts meeting this weekend, but there will be on 1/2/2010 |

Here is what goes on must of the time, we
wonder around not knowing what is next, or what tool is required, or
for that matter where it is. |

Some how it actually runs after we played with it. Lots of small
item to finish. |

Ok, now we are really in trouble! |
