Almost there



My Kingdom for a fuel distributor. :)

I leaned out the CO screw today, and the car definitely caught more, 
but it's just too much fuel. Long after the engine stops cranking I 
can -hear- gas flowing into the cylinders. It's that bad.

I can smell the fuel, especially coming out of the exhaust. I tried 
adjusting the Primary Pressure Regulator but that just made it leak.

The metering plunger stuck again and only a whack from a hammer freed 
it up. (Hey, the distributor is toast anyway)

I used my kids to help set the timing. I was pretty close. You should 
see the way they jump around when they're holding the high tension 
wire! (Just kidding)

I found the short in the oil pressure gauge. That was good.
I reset the needle in the fuel gauge. It still pegs. That wasn't so 
good. I hope it's just the fuel sender and not a short in the wiring.

I'm going to stop cranking the engine until I have a new fuel distro 
and pressure test kit. I'll just end up bending a rod or something.
