Very exciting! Git some air cleaners on there. What's the break-in plan? Oh, for sure. I already have them and they will go on tonight. I had some sparks coming from the bottom, where the transmission meets the engine, anyone have an idea what this is from? I'm thinking I did something wrong with the throwout bearing? As for break in, a few weeks ago at the German Auto Fest, we bought a magnetic filter to take care of all those metal shards. |

I am not a type IV expert by anyone's standards, but I was wondering how big your motor was...? 48 IDA's tend to be way too big for most applications, causing flooding, running rich, backfires, etc.
Just a thought... |

Will that fuel pump move enough fuel for those carbs?
Awesome build - I just read your thread from start to finish! |

In response to your questions on the 48s, without getting too technical, it all has to do with the venturi size, emmulsion tubes, and the primary jets.
..... This all equals a good running engine with that uncomparable IDA woot sound. |

Ok, so I have a boring update, but an update non-the-less.
Whoever the PO was, he decided to Powder Coat the heating tube parts without removing the paint. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) (IMG:http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b6/Emar06/a01eaee2.jpg) Worked on these for a bit and plan on putting them on the car either tonight or tomorrow. (IMG:http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b6/Emar06/437fc1f8.jpg) Also, spruced up the brake lines a bit. Unfortunatly, the ones on my car I over looked before painting, so now they are uncoated and Orange (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Luckily, the 76 had some good ones. I was originally going to go with braided, but after that thread last week, I decided to hold off.

Headlights are in and mounted, chrome is polished. Really like the look of the H4's.

Headlight surrounds: Looks like you have the original 1970 white ones that had been painted black. If you want, I have black ones off of my '76 that have <85,000 miles that you can have. I'm back dating with the early white ones on my car, as pictured above. You might want to attempt restoring the white surrounds, at a later time. They're rare and correct for your model year. Let me know. I'm in Carlsbad. Great progress thread! Thanks, |

Finishing up the heating tubes and everything under the car, does this look right so far?

Do you have a washer on that engine bar mounting bolt? Doesn't look like it from here. Heater stuff looks fine.

Would anyone happen to have a picture of all the tubing, I ran a search, but I don't thmk it's a popular item to photograph. |
