If it were not for you and Joe needing your cars fixed it would be done.

Eh, I tried to fix a customers tranz and then went for a ride to test out the suby. I was drifting into every turn using the hand brake (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) It was fun. I dont think I would have the bus out in this weather so I dont feel bad about it not running yet. This is one of the best storms I have seen in my almost 5 years out here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Hi guys! Mike you can blame me for the small snowfall in recent years, as I was not looking forward to shoveling our long drive way. My back feels this way about shoveling snow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) Ended up using the neighbors snow blower. still not done yet either. Darn snow has moved the satelite dish too!

Yuck Fou (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Today ROCKED in the garage! I designed and built, from scratch, with no help, a very complicated throttle linkage system that WORKS! I did not bring my camera, but I will tomorrow. This was the last major hurtle in the design phase. The rest is looking to be straight forward (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The linkage is the shit!

I used a section of 1/2" x 12" black pipe, some 1/2od x 3/8 id bushings, some 3/8" rolled steel rod, and some flat stock. The rods I used are 3/16" rolled steel and all ends terminate at quick release ball clevises (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

You'll see. Tomorrow night, hopefully (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

It is pretty cool. While he was doing that, I fixed my snow blower. We better get more snow, or I am going to be pissed.

Oh, and Mike has now seen the wonders of a welder. He has gone from fear to "Look! I did it myself! I'm so getting one of these..." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I tried to take pics of the linkage setup, but my lovely wife did not charge the camera battery....which I found out after I arrived at Zach's, an hour away (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I worked out my frustrations by using Zach's snow blower to do the rest of his drive way and subsequently fill the back of his truck with the snow. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)

Yes. It was rock hard ice by the time I walked out there to see if he had really filled up my bed with snow. It should melt off sometime around June. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

If I can get out to the garage tonight, I'll get some. Spent most of today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)

Been too long. I love shooting in the snow.

How about some new year's eve engine porn? Since Scotty B has seen fit to grace us with his benevolent presence this new years eve/day, Zach and I figured that we should do something special to commemorate this momentous occasion. We will attempt to fire up the engine later today! Enough with the $.50 words. I busted my hump to get the engine ready to run tonight and I can not think of any reason not to hook up a battery, fuel and see if we can get it to make noise (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

What was done today:
- Installed and static timed dizzy with Fireball optic ignition
- Installed coil, ballast resistor, wires
- Set up fuel pump
- Connected electrically adjustable jet fuel harness (this ought to be interesting)
- Clamped some of the oil lines down (I need 2 more hose clamps)
- Installed auto tranny filler tube after straightening it out (had to change curve to work with engine tin location)
- Drilled hole in air cleaner bottom and installed nipple for PCV input (Zach did this)

Tomorrow to do:
- oil filter
- Hose clamps for oil lines and PCV hose
- PCV install (I need to find one that can be modified to work in my application)
- Fluids
- turn key and smile (?)

And now some pics (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

This is the linkage on the transmission. I changed the direction of the bend and made it a specific length to convert the 1 1/8" of cable pull into the 2 3/8" of throttle lever play at the carb.

The second link. I used a 1/2" ID x 12" section of black pipe and some brass bushings for the pulley housing.
