The cap is new- the base etc are original

Valve lash set, brake lever bushings changed and booster and master cylinder back on Don’t want to be doing that too often! Ha Now just need to set the idle

Progress

Next step- took the booster off- for two reasons 1- we are going to check the valve lash one last time before the fenders go on 2- since I had to take the booster off to get at the valve covers- good reason to change the bushings on the pedal linkage

The builder doing his stuff

It worked !

Tuning by the engine builder on Saturday

I wish I could post a video Lots of smoke in the garage - combo of the oil in the motor from the priming that was done on it- then when that cleared - it was the painted manifolds - ha

Runs !

Thanks for the advice- will Try to loosen and tighten tonight!

But it did fire up and run for a bit before we shut it off because of the stupid fuel leaks

Well- new update. Changed the starter to a mini starter- much better to crank it over. We need to solve the timing issue and the biggest problem- the new fuel line kit is leaking at both carbs, the t block and where is goes into the pump. Not sure who flared this thing ….

He changed the shaft to a Chrysler shaft
