Congrats man! Hope to someday see that beast in person . . . ride, well I'll sit in the back row middle.

I do think we need some videos of smoldering burn outs.

Yeah, should have said something, I had mine with me. It was already on 110 though so you would have had to really nail it!

Maybe today after I reinstall the carb and fix the ig switch. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I need to tighten up the ATF fill tube as well. It is leaking on the header.

Well, SNAFU. I got the old ig switch out and wouldnt you know it, my replacement is the wrong one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) My 74 was made in late 73 so the switch is different. It should be here by Thurs.....but I want it now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)

The old one was definitely toast. It had a cracked housing and the guts were wanting to come out.

Sorry about the breakup Zach. Mike hid a pair of old underwear in the garage just so he had a reason ( excuse ) to stop by and see you one more time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smlove2.gif)

Soon enough. I have to fix the ig switch, install the carb, and change a wheel bearing on my VUE today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I will see about taking pics today.

Carb is installed. I needed to remove it again to helicoil some threads in the adapter. The ig switch showed up while I was doing the threads and I installed that as well. I am getting ready to button it up to get it inspected tomorrow. I am going to install the fog switch before I put the gauge pod back in and needed a drill with a 1/2 " chuck, hello wal-mart at midnight (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

If I get it going today, I will shoot some pics. I was not motivated to stop and shoot today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Not sure what anyone wants to see.

Here is the broken ig switch:

Here is proof that the bus is in my driveway:

Here are the fogs I installed today. I figured why not since I was doing a bunch of electrical anyway:

Here is evidence that the captains chairs sit way too high in the early bus. Mine is modified and it fits me perfectly. The passenger side was lowered as much as I could without cutting into the body. I may still modify it further, but with the back straight up my head is brushing the head liner and I can not see out the windshield well.

Holy crap! I finally manned up and turned the damn key. It is running 90% better now. It does not stall when put into gear, idles like a dream, has great power, but it still pops a little in transition. I am pretty sure it is because the accelerator pump is flooding it. It looks like a squirt gun when I give it any throttle. Horrible mileage that way. I will see if I can tweak it to give gas a little later in the throw. It has two positions. If not, I will get another cam and try that. This thing is AWESOME! I hope I can get it inspected on Mon so I can drive it anytime. I wait for night fall currently (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

Well, I did a lot of carb learning over the last few days. I bought an accelerator pump cam kit and put a higher flow cam in. This cleared up the stumble from idle to open throttle. Works like a charm now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) My main jets are 54 and I am thinking smaller jets may be in order. That will be the last thing I goof with as it is doing fine on the freeway. I am pretty sure my power valve is not correct. When I put it in gear is barely runs from neutral. I wanted to get a dual zone power valve anyway. Better economy and tunability. I did not goof with the idle adjustment, though.

I may need to come down one on the accelerator pump cam as it is blowing up out of the carb a little every now and then. I need to recheck the timing as well. All pretty simple stuff, though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I hope to drive it to inspection tomorrow.
