Well, after a re-gapping of the spark plugs, and a valve clearence
adjustment, it was almost done, with one exception.

The two gaskets that go between the carb and intake manifold were ripped,
and fortunatley one tilted upward so I could see it.

After re-making the gaskets, and re-gapping the plugs(They were a TINY bit
white on the core), the difference when driving this thing now and on last
Friday's date(http://british.nerp.net/journal/date.jpg - we're a couple of
cooky kids) is phenomenal.

It's a wonder it even drove Friday, with the air leakage at the gaskets, the
small spark plug gaps, and the funky valve clearences. SMOOTH driving for
now!


Kids love the rich taste of web content!
