I like popcorn too!!!

I have the intake bolted on...but that is about it for new progress.

Work was crazy last week, then I was away for the weekend, now back to the craziness of work.

I hope to get back to wrenching this week, then pick up the last of the parts I need this weekend and get things back together! I still have a lot to do!!!!

Well work has been crazy and I have had no time to touch the car the last few weeks.

This weekend the weather was amazing so i spent the better part of the last two days getting my hands dirty.

I have the engine back together and almost ready to fire. I have 5 Quarts of Brad Penn break-in oil in the pan. 12 bucks a quart bet better safe than sorry.

I am most of the way through rebuilding the carb. I just need to find a missing choke spring and I can finish that up. Not sure where the hell it went!

I still have to bend some new fuel lines due to converting the carb to a secondary jets instead of the plate.

I hope to get to that sooner rather than later, because work is still going to be crazy!

Felt great to get it this far!

Always the smallest part causes the most delays and aggravation!
Glad you found that spring.
Should be a GREAT startup

Got the carb back together and everything else bolted on.

Have a plan for the fuel lines. Just need some 3/8 rubber line and some thread sealer.

Probably be next weekend before I have the time turn the key and break in the cam, but well see.

Has anyone used this product to seal fuel lines ?
I know the tape is no good as it can breakdown then clog.

I have used similar products , I worked in the fuel industry for a while , we used a combination of tape & liquid sealer to make sure there were no leaks
