Re: Winter Beater Build 2.0- '66 Short/Fleet BBW

Thanks guys!! I got it started and running but the carb needs dialing in. I fixed the leak between the throttle body and main body after this vid. Its still running lean, I think the needle is either too large on the thicker/upper idle section and restricting fuel flow too much, or the needle height is too low. I have an extra needle I can machine smaller if needed. The wheels are blasted, I'll shoot epoxy and paint tonight, and the tires should be here today. The brakes are bled, just need to finish the rear bag mounts and drill the frame for the upper shock studs to have it buttoned up underneath.
