I haven't had much time to work on this lately as I've been replacing the heads on the S-10. (Darn thing rang great, but the smog Nazis said I needed new heads.
) But I'm done with that and have been able to work on the bump some yesterday and today. Yesterday I put a voltage regulator in it, warmed it up and dialed the carb in. Finished hooking the linkage up. Sounded decent, but that exhaust leak sounded bad. Took it on it's maiden voyage, all the way to the end of the street to check the mail, 
. Tires look like they have about 10 or 15lbs air in them and there's no power steering so that was fun. Rear brakes grab too. Backfired through the carb under load, I figured timing was off. Carb should be okay, it came off the '69 when I put the 4bbl in it.Today I checked the timing, it was set @ 0 degrees TDC. Reset it at 10 degrees. Sounds much better, the exhaust leak is even quieter.
Plug wires have mold on them! Points look fried. Needs a full tune up. FE's are tough as nails, as old and neglected as this thing is it still idles smooth and runs great. (Except the leak of course.)
Replaced the fuse on for the hazard lights and lighter so I have power there now. Just have to remember where I put the new switch.
Stock speaker looks like a PITA to get to, I guess it's going to stay right there, I'll put the replacement somewhere else.
Need mirrors! Been backing trailers up for so long I'm darn near helpless without them!
