It's a balmy -15 here, and this morning we are off to Lawrence's garage to put the carbs back on his /6 and adjust the valves.
Yoder and I drove up yesterday, and Ginter met us here. We spend the evening last night drinking, rebuilding carbs in his apartment and watching the Sopranos. Yoder is now hooked on it. BTW... a dead bug in your Weber carb does not make for good running......... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif) Gotta go.. Lawrence is cooking breakfast.

Update... 06:00 Sunday.
Yesterday we got the car back together and tried firing it up. We had a bit of a problem with the turbo valve cover on the left bottom getting it back on the engine, and in the process of transporting the carbs from Rusty's apartment to the garage a bowl drain plug got broken. FYI- the bolt is a 7mm x1.0 thread, 10mm long. We almost got it running, but the battery went dead. We went a bought a charger, took it back adn hooked it up, then called it a night. BTW.... you know how they are on the board. Well they are really like that in person. We went to the hardware store looking for springs for the accellerator pumps (seems the DACO left one out the last time the carbs were done), and the clerk told us that we were the funniest group to come in all day.
