Shae's '68 NB Fish

Not sure why I keep updating this...ahh well atleast I have a running chronological note of the car. Still waiting on W2, pretty sure thats going to pay for the chassy in OR.

Rebuilt carb this weekend...the more I do on this car the more i realize how ghetto rigged it was. Timing was advanced to about 50deg, apparently as a quick fix to get it running without fiddling with the carb. got carb adjusted-ish starts up nice now, runs nice...once it gets past a dead spot right off of idle...still working on tracking that problem down, have a feeling it has to do with the distributer however. When checking the timing and adjusting it, noticed that it wasn't adjusting with throttle smoothly, in fact wasn't even smooth at idle. Going to pull apart distributer tomorrow and see if I can clean it up and find out if theres a problem.

while cruising get small backfires through the exhaust with neg exhaust pressure, hoping thats related to timing...last 2 cold starts its started up right away as per normal but has ran like dog crap until it warms up...sounds like its missing out of 2 cylinders...also hoping thats related to timing...

anyway keep yall posted, feel free to throw some ideas out there...seems like everything i do reveals atleast a couple more problems...
