Thanks FISHYPETE! It feels good to finally be feeling good enough to be back in the swing of things again. Got more done tonight. Got the tail pipe on and it is very quiet now. Also noticed that cracked just above idle, it was running a little rough. Only thing I had not done at this point was put the timing light on it "just to see" where it is. It was sitting about 20* initial. Evidently, slants don't like that. I backed it down to about 12* and it smoothed out nicely. Going to work on cleaning up the fuse panel tomorrow, as some of the contacts have surface rust on them. Turn signals and dash lights don't work and I suspect the fuse box may be where the trouble is. Forgot to take pics, but I will have it up in the air again as I forgot to grease the front end.
Yall gotta try the Fiber Fix stuff I am talking about. I had to reposition the muffler, as it was rubbing the drive shaft. The exhaust pipe right in front of the muffler had only like an inch of pipe left holding it on before I wrapped it with Fiber Fix. It has now cured close to a week. I took a chance when Evan was over and let him hold the exhaust pipe in front of the muffler, while I grabbed the muffler and bent the exhaust pipe away from the drive shaft a tad. The Fiber fix did not give, but the pipe bent just where I needed it to. This stuff is STRONG.
