Carb mockup


The carbs have been cleaned. The starter carb bolt has been drilled out-I couldn't free it-and the front carb dashpot piston has also been freed. So these shots are generally of the carbs reassembled and put into position. They have not yet been rebuilt- just put back the way they should eventually look and fit.

I timed the camshafts sorta. I got the cam sprockets located with the cams at dead center and have one bolt on each side to hold the location. Chains are tensioned and the front breather cover is on for good. I want to fit the proper bolts through the sprockets onto the cams then run the engine around to determine the camshaft characteristics since it is not original. I know that the lift is greater slightly and the duration is longer than stock, but that is it.

Other news: the door hinges are off to the welder, the right rear fender is off for a patch panel, and some sheet metal parts have arrived.
