"Something in the Orange"

Used a fistfull of the kid's playdough (stuff he left out or mixed the colors all up) to squish between the hood and a board I placed on top of the carburetor. The Edelbrock air gap had things resting a little high in there. The results showed that i needed less spacer under the carb and some air filter base modifications.

I had some issues with electrical connections around the ballast resistor and I ended up rewiring everything between the ignition, alternator, and the ECU. I also broke the sensor on that old mechanical temperature gauge so I swapped it with an electronic one and ditched my weird plumbing mod. mentioned in post #47.
