oldbluetruck, how right you are.

don stocker, the elec fuel pump I'm useing is from another project, it makes between 1.5 & 4 psi.

tclederman, thanks

The final tightning on that rocker oil supply line did the trick and it hasn't leaked in over 24 hrs so I wrestled w/getting the side pan back on. Let me just say it fought me the whole way. For such a large engine bay it's surprisingly tight in there. Had to tap out 2 of the stovebolt threads in the head and clean up the threads on the 2 bolts to get them back in.
Even the valve cover gasket needed alittle mod as I cut off the 2 bolt hole "ears" on the carb side to get it to fit in the cover. Looks like the gasket will fit a 235 too.

Will be hooking up the new choke and throttle cable to the carb as I move along. I was able to get the idle working better on later startups and want to try starting from the cab.
Both cables were broke and dangleing. The choke cable is easy to figure out but I haven't figured out the throttle cable connection to the carb yet.
Anyone have a pic and/or some knowledgw on that they'd like to share?

And still need to troubleshoot the chargeing system, fuel delivery and brake systems.
My Mrs thought the hard part was done, I told hwer it was just begining grin
