I GOT TO DRIVE MY BUS YESTERDAY. Just in the parking lot, but with the automatic transmission and the braking system. Everything worked really well. The motor's timing was a bit retarded so we are going to advance it to get it where we want it. It's pretty fun. I need to do a few things still to make it roadworthy, but I'm almost there. basically I just need to permanently mount the throttle cable and it's done. I still need to hookup the backup lights on the shifter switch, rewire the radiator fan to work off of the ignition switch and put a bypass switch inline (manual override for the fan thermo switch), mount the air scoop and clean the carb's jets and it's pretty much a cruiser. I'm finally getting to the end of the tunnel for mechanical work on it.
