Dan & I worked on the Custom S today adding the Auto Gage mini trio-gauges that were originally in my ’70 Formula 400, but removed when we installed factory tach & gauges. It’s nice to see what the oil pressure (20-60 psi), coolant temp (high of 180), and charging system (14.5 volts) is doing.
We also discovered we have more work to dial in the carb and timing since they haven’t been touched (other than setting initial) since the car came home. The 7029293 Q-jet is in admittedly unknown condition and really needs a good rebuild and examining/readjusting the fuel curve. It seems to be overly rich yet and the secondary air valve needs to be tightened some more as it has a big bog at full throttle. This is the fun stuff.
