got a lot done today
went ahead and pulled the carb and went thru the full list of adjustments before installing. put it on and got it roughly adjusted to where it will idle well at 750-800.
got the clutch master cylinder bench bled and bled the full system
jacked up the rear wheels and tested the clutch and the transmission. i need the bushings that go on the shift lever and settle into grooves in the shift tower... will look for those at picknpull tomorrow.
pulled the bed off, painted the partially bare back of the cab
cut off and rewelded the crooked exhaust hanger by the back
set up the return line for the fuel pressure regulator
got the bed put back on and put the battery back in the bed.
got the timing set where it feels right and is what the book said to go with
had a leak in my heater core so i bypassed it for the time being just ran a hose from water pump to intake
also need to buy a dipstick and dipstick tube at picknpull tomorrow. had a rubber cork wedged in there for a while but it worked its way out and i got a ton of oil on my header
i was able to let it idle long enough to get up to temperature and have my fan come on a couple times so i know that works
the still to do list is bleed the front brakes, get a dipstick tube and dipstick and install, and find those two bushings for the transmission, and have the carb tuned in real well by someone more skilled than i
quick idle video from today. cell phone video not great quality and the bed being right there makes it echo a bit but here it is
