Off work at day dump truck in the shop clutch gone out so figured I would do some work around the shop trying get car ready for some testing..

Installed new rack boots I have to pull the wheels to polish if you look good at the front compared to the back you can see the difference in the wheels..washed dust off waiting on pushrods to get here ordered last week from smith brothers..







Also painted some of the bars that's been dinged up so hopefully soon we can have a great time with it..I don't post alot on boards anymore thought I would share a little..

ok kiddies, mike and his son kareem brought the hotrod up to my house sunday. after messing around with it we decided that the plugs weren't any good(autolites, duh). anyway we regapped 8 of my cleaned ngk bp9es' and installed them. wow, what a difference they made. ok we then reset the idle by making the turn buckle to it's max length and opening the throttle blade to .015". we got it to idle great, have excellent throttle response and no alcohol out of the headers. we checked leakage on the barrel valve and it's at 22% just in the ballpark with ron's instructions for a terminator with the purple barrel valve. they both left here happy campers. I had a great time helping them out.
