Been plugging away on the hybrid project. Hooking up various lines, cleaning the exhaust ports on the heads for new gaskets, figured out a pair of radiator hoses[ had flex ones, yuck!]. Yesterday I busted the carb apart. Hit it with B12 until I ran out. Got more B12 today, finished squirting it down, blew out all of the passages. Started getting that together today. I need to chase down a secondary diaphragm for it, old one has some cracks. My main goal is to just get it running. After that, will see what else Steve wants to tackle. Like brakes, no dust caps on the rotors, tie rod and ball joint boots toast, driveshaft too short plus some other stuff.

While I'm waiting for more parts to show up, I used today's time to shorten up the excessively long plug wires. Since these units are JDM Speed ricer ones, the wires are 10mm in diameter. That made it a challenge to get the new terminals on and crimped. I ended up putting a terminal in the vise with a 3/8 to help reform them. 1st picture is a normal one on the left, reformed on the right That worked ok there, but putting the squeeze on the crimping tool, have a Pertronix one with different die sets, was a challenge and workout for the hands. Much nicer now.
