"Something in the Orange"
- replaced a brake line and adjusted the rear drums
- replace header gaskets
- adjusted fuel and transmission cooling lines (away from headers)
- much experimentation with vacuum advance, fuel, and timing
- first time sanding/planing the thermostat housing
- several attempts to shorten the spark plugs on the inside (see post 31)
- went with shorter oil filter (easier to remove and reduce heat from headers)
- Fram PH43, STP S16, NAPA 1068, Bosch 72157ws, WIX 51521, AC Delco PF 1093, Mopar 090, and CFI 85068 work
- introduced a clutch type fan
- exchanged the Petronix ignition/distributor with the Mopar Performance one with advance curve and orange ECU
- looks like there was a need for touch up paint
I found a long paved section of woods road, behind a locked gate, to practice launching and stopping to see what would come apart (in private). My bucket of bolts held together ok although it took a painfully long time to get that first 60 feet.
