OK, broke 'Tater out of the shop today. Drove her home and enjoyed every bit of it, even tho se was givin me some greif halfway there. Seems the carb is WAY too rich, may be float level or bad needle valve. I dunno, just know I was goin up a slight incline and it sounded like it was only hitting on 3 pistons. Sounded much better when I got it leveled out and up to speed. Still starts up good and idles nice, should be much better when I get the carb rebuilt and install the vac-advance dizzy. At least I hope so!
I dig all cars, old and new, whether they were hammered out of American iron, German steel, or Japanese tin cans. Being unable to appreciate them all is missing out on a world of great things. But thats just MY opinion! :P
