72 duster resto

Well it fires right up! Very impressed by the upgrade. Almost instantaneous ignition, and fortunately I had the lead wires from my distributor in the right place by 50/50 chance :D

The car still has a rough idle and the engine shakes a bit also. I pulled off all the vacuum connections and plugged them from the carb and it smoothed out a bit so, I replaced all the hoses that connect to the carb with fresh ones. Unfortunately when I hooked them back up I didn't accidentally swapped the PCV and Carb Bowl outlets and that was not great... Sooooo

Going to replace my charcoal canister - thought about grabbing one off a 90's jeep for cheap since they have the same amount of connections and they're like $15-25 used.

I'm guessing here but the odometer reads 24k miles (most likely 124k ... ) but I would assume that the timing chain has never been replaced - considering doing that job just as a mental checklist item along with waterpump and then just see how she runs.
