I paid about $150 to powder coat the K Member, it would probably cost more to have it blasted and paint it myself given the price of paint materials these days...

The Gearhead Gathering at Warren’s garage condo complex?

There are YouTube videos that show how to adjust your window mechanisms, they explain it way better than a wall of text possibly can.

Before: you can see where the port is supposed to be located After: with a hole cut to accommodate the pickup. The stock gasket has a much larger center hole.

It was Milodon, I discovered it the hard way a couple years ago. They put the gasket for an external pickup in the standard kit. It was painfully obvious when I took the pump back off. I cut the gasket around the pickup port and reinstalled it and the pump. After spinning the pump a few...

Do you know the bore size of the master cylinder? The smaller the bore, the more travel it requires to displace the same amount of fluid. I think B-Body power disc brake master cylinder bores are around 1" - 1.125". How far is the pedal from the floor to start with? Is the brake booster pushrod...

If you’re running a divorced choke, blocking the crossover could be a problem. With an electric choke or no choke at all, I don’t see a problem. I have no choke and a blocked crossover, cold idle is a little erratic but drivability improves and the idle is fine within a couple blocks.

The Holley throttle adapter will move the stud higher which resin a longer arc of travel, I wouldn’t attempt to make any further adjustments until the adapter is installed.

40 C is 104 F 104 F is hot, but in many parts of the world that's just another day...

Working with my replacement, only 12 more working days until I retire. From here on out I’m visiting customers, doing my farewell tour…

That doesn't bother me too much, the extra cranking to prime the carb allows the engine to build oil pressure before it lights...

Too much offset, you need wheels with a bit more backspacing.

I would leave the intake gasket as is and disable the choke. For a fair weather cruiser I don’t think a choke is a necessity.

I use a 160 in the GTX. It runs 175 at full operating temperature, even in stop and go traffic with ambient temperatures in the upper 90’s.

To pnora’s list I would add a harmonic balancer installation tool, machinist’s straightedge and feeler gauges…

Alcohol boils at 173.1°F, if you are running oxygenated fuel it can begin to boil at or below normal engine operating temperatures. In a high pressure fuel injection system it’s not an issue, but with carburetors the fuel system pressure is much lower and prone to vapor lock. The fix could be as...
