It's been a while since I've worked on the 261 for my '59 Apache project.
Yesterday I installed the glass bowl fuel filter screen with gasket and attached the bowl assembly to the carburator.
I also installed the new throw-out bearing and buckled down the trannie. I now, need to turn the engine so I can tighten the clutch pressure plate bolts. I plan on getting two birds with one stone... This will be a good opportunity to set the valves.
