So what you deaf now or something ?










I'd hope you could hear the girlfriend calling

 

Nope.
Hearing is fine.


I had another brilliant idea....turned the metering rod screw some more.

Huge difference!

Bog is almost nonexistent now. When you pop the 4 barrel, there is a little puff of black smoke. Barely visible, but there. Sounds like a badass too.


OH HELL YEAH. me gusta.

 

Video before and after else it didn't happen...

Now you see why I run a tad rich!

 

I do have a before video, but nobody has looked at it!

You fools don't get an after video. Anyways, it only puffed that one time. Hasn't done it since.

Seems to glide along up hills alot better, more torque now, too.

 

That's a lot of "seems". "Seems" to me are the same as "seams" which like to split... Not very reassuring. Better do an overhaul! Time to drop thousands of dollars!

damn....that paragraph was bad. Crap...imma fix that.

 

i removed the rusty fuel/return lines and installed/hooked up the new fuel line. still have to run a return line but it is not necessary with the carb that is currently on it. also went to the parts store and ordered a can of chrysler corp blue. hoping to scrub the block as good as i can with a toilet brush and some soap and then paint it.

 

finished the tiregate today. I have to drive like a grandma for a little while cause theres bungee rubber cords holding the top half together until I get more pipe to weld into the top existing tailgate latch. I must admit it was a fun frustrating project. Its a really good feeling when you build a project yourself instead of buying one. Can't wait to build my own custom traction bars in a couple months or so. It looks crooked because of the camera angle.

 

Sweet mudflaps.



No really, good job on the tiregate.

 

From vague memory, issues arise using certain front lockers when overrunning (engine braking on downhill runs).
In overrun the "locking" of the front axle kills steerability of the vehicle.
Torsen type did not have this issue (once again, from memory).
