So today is the BIG DAY! I have all 3 "BONESKE-FIED" Rochesters mounted to the intake, with the Cool Carb insulators in place. I had asked for all new fuel lines, and I am REALLY glad I did because the ones I thought were "ok" that came with the car were NOT. So I had a fluted fuel line fitting leak at the center and rear carbs, but that was just me trying not to overtighten. A little more torque applied and no leaks. I haven't adjusted anything, and cold start is great. I think I'm going to have to bring hot idle up a bit, and maybe make the choke flap open at a cooler temp.
I also had the linkage and carbs plated. Mr. Boneske also straightened out the linkage, so now it's pretty AND correct!
Test FLOG happening now. I'll post up results.
