Default Project update

After several years, our Tempest project has hit the road! Before putting it in storage for the winter, we took it for a drive around town. The brake system works well, the tranny shifts, and it tracks straight down the road. Only problem was the carbs were flooding the engine. Seems the after market mechanical fuel pump has a high pressure output. After adjusting the floats down, it idled without flooding, but next spring it is getting a fuel pressure regulator.
