Spent some time and got her running a little better, but I am still far from happy. The linkages in the throttle are all worn out and held together with bailing wire. I have to put my put under the throttle rod in the cab and pull to get it to drop below 2000 RPMs whenever I am in neutral. Still chuggs like crazy and stumbles all over itself at an idle. Smooths out decently under acceleration, but just doesn't sound right to me...maybe I'm too used to V8s. I need to do a compression test, but that will have to wait until after the car show this weekend. No vaccuum leaks, and the carb seems to be working fine with no leaks....the only thing left is an issue with the engine. On the bright side, a really good friend of mine picked up some pinstriping supplies and is getting back into pinstriping. He wanted to get some practice, so I let him have some fun in the engine bay. Tanya got some tattoos,
