First drive of the season in AK
First ride of the season was a succes. Initial start up was exciting to say the least! I had carburetor gasket leaks, fuel line leaks, thermostat housing leaks, transmission cooler line leaks, yes if there was something that could be leaking I think it was. But after initial warm up and some minor tweaking things settled in, now she’s doing good. The only thing that persists is the stupid thermostat housing bolts! Is there some magic bolts I’m supposed to be using? Tires did well, they are a tad too far out. I’ll be looking locally for some big bolt pattern axles and drums so I can ditch the adapters.
definitely have to keep the air shocks pumped up in the back. Probably going to price some super stock springs, or go REALLY 70s and get some lift shackles for temp. And before everyone starts dogging me out for running air shocks and tearing up the mounts. This car has had air shocks on it for 20+ years!! And the mounts are just fine. Sunny beautiful day here in AK SHE IS ALIVE again
