The new engine in my '71 Super finally runs!
I bought a can of start fluid, sprayed into the carb intakes (dual
44IDFs) but the engine didn't catch. Finally, I took off the distributor cap and readjusted the distributor by less than a tenth of an inch and sprayed more starter fluid and finally it took off!I am using the pro-flo turbo muffler from CB with 1.5" merged headers and the sound is LOUD! I may switch to dual quiet packs.
I've been driving it around today. The best part is in 2nd gear and I hit 25 mph and the torque kicks in. Whoa!
I can't wait to run in the engine and then find a lonely stretch of straight road....
I still need to tune the idle mixture though. There isn't much space. Does anyone have any tricks to access the idle mixture screws? Thanks!
