I tried to move the ole girl under her own power tonight but no luck. I need to adjust the clutch. I tried to shift and GRIND! Hopefully an easy task...😉 I had 180’F on the temperature, 30lbs of oil pressure and only a slight fuel leak that will be remedied with a quality flaring tool soon. I realized tonight that I installed the wrong oil pressure numbers in my gauge! The gauge under hood is correct, while the dash gauge reads more than 30, despite being a 30lb gauge. Oops. Oh well.😃
I do believe I can call the wiring completed. I installed the radio grill tonight as well. Rerouted to cigarette lighter wiring and tidied up the shop a bit. I like crossing things of my list. Everything worked with the truck idling. EVERYTHING! Yay!
Next up:
hood install/adjustment
Brake bleed
Clutch adjust
Tune carb- it has a slight stumble off the bottom. If you ease into it it’s fine, quick pedal and it will stumble hard.
