Re: 68 Second Chance
Sent the new carb back it will not fit the 2 barrel manifold. Going to rebuild the old one here after I get it started up. Reinstalled the intake manifold. made a implement to attach to harmonic balancer so I could spin the motor around to get TDC. Put it all back together and mounted the old carb back on the manifold and pour a little gas down the throat and tried to fire it up. Nothing.
Looks like I will need to go through everything again and verify I actually had TDC and that the spark plug wires are correct. As it was turning over got one little small backfire but no attempt to start.
Pict 1 - Motor torn down to reinstall intake manifold
Pict 2 - A quick made up tool to attach to the harmonic balancer to turn motor to achieve TDC
Pict 3 - Also took off front fender to do a little rust repair on front fender cup, lower back mount rust hole. After that I will attempt to buff out fender then take to NAPA to do a digital color match. Repaint the areas and buff back into old paint....photos to follow
