Lookin' good. Got plans in the ways of engine cage? Also, I'm rather curious (cause yer car reminds me a lot of mine for some reason) what yer interior is like.

Well, we were burning the midnight oil tonight.

Getting some wireing cleaned up, and just messing around.

Got a FRAM fuel filter($3 at wal-mart :D ), alot bigger than mine, and cleaner.
swithced em out, and cut my old one out and a little pile of dirt fell out.

put new spark plugs in, and the wires.

switched back to the 34 pict carb, dont feel like waiting on that darn 2bbl.

All im waiting is for that dizzy cap, ordered it from CB 2 days ago, should be in any day now :D

Get a Wix filter, don't scrimp. Cold weather oil is thick, easy to blow filters. I first started up today I was hitting 80 psi on mine.
