74 power wagon dream truck...

So I went ahead and got an actual 3/8 piece of copper and just use the fuel line as connectors at both ends. So then I hear a little bit of a ticking noise more than the usual solid lifters and now have the valve covers off and doing another valve adjustment. It did sound like a leak coming from the back of the carburetor but time will tell on that one. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with the AC so I went ahead and pulled the horn cover off the steering wheel and manually stuck a screwdriver in there to honk the horn which was always kind of wonky. AND THE AC CAME ON!!??..
Okay that one threw me for a loop...
So what had happened was at the windshield washer bottle where it grounds to its own mounting bolt I had put the ground for the AC relay and the horn. So now it was not grounding but grounding itself through the horn? LOL.. I put some self tappers through and regrounded everything so now AC is working fine and Horn is still crappy but works. In order to do the valve adjustment I always take the plugs out to make the engine easy to turn and they were looking pretty rough and I believe it was mostly from the PCV valve... So I went up and got me plugs today and I'm going to clean everything back up and put it all back together give it a test drive and check back in....
Up until this time everything was pretty good then all hell broke loose...
