I tried to download a video from my Olympus camera to my computer and kept getting error messages and the computer would shut the program down. I don't know what the problem is.
Yesterday, I had a friend come by to check my carb and my buddie's carb as well. He got my buddie's 63 vette running like a scalded dog!
Then, I cranked mine up and he listened for a few seconds and said" One or more plugs aren't firing". So, he started pulling plug wires while the motor was running until he found the culprit. No.6 was fouled. I pulled the plug out and it was very wet. I didn't have another plug so I told him we would get mine another day.
He said I should wait until I get ready to start driving the car and then he would go through the carb and fine tune the timing and make any other needed adjustments.
Well, when I took my wife to dinner last night I stopped and picked up another plug.
I put it in this morning and this afternoon I cranked the car and drove it around the block twice. On the second pass one of my neighbors stopped me to ask about the car.
After a brief conversation he asked if it could spin the tires. I said "Let's find out"
I rolled away about fifty feet then hit the gas. The car got a little sideways in first and again when it hit second. Man, that felt good!!!
Anyway, that's about all I have done since the exhaust was installed.
I have ordered a new windshield and rear quarter glass and will pick them up next Saturday at the Moultrie swap meet.
