Squirrels

I’ve finally come to the point where I have to admit I’m not as smart as a common squirrel. I long ago had to admit I wasn’t as smart as a common ferret either, but that’s another story… :think: I have a couple of “squirrel proof” bird feeders hanging from branches of a palm tree in my backyard.

Re: Mike's GT40 gets redone

Put 5 gal’s of 93 octane fuel in each tank today. Connected the battery and waited for William to swing by on his lunch break. Always best to have an extra set of eyes and hands to do this. After a handful of tries, it fired off with Williams help goosing the throttle. Had some noticeable belt/pulle...

Just to be on the safe side, I opened each one up and sprayed some carb cleaner to make sure nothing was gummed up. Carbs, fuel lines and home made heat shield are now back in place. Just need to reinstall the ex...

Re: Mike's GT40 gets redone

Next I installed the new MSD Pro-Billet Distributor, PN 85786 with a steel gear already installed. Btw, MSD now stamps the steel gears with an S. I set up the mechanical advance with the black 18 degree bushing and two light silver springs. Weber IDAs like a lot of initial advance, and the light spr...
