I've had my share of stuff not fitting quite right too.

 

This has come along way very nice stuff!

 

Going to start it tomorrow! All I need to do now is finish up my wiring and put oil in it.

 

Big moment is here! Looking forward to seeing how it turns out!

 

Yeah today I took apart the carb to see what I could find out about it. Found 1 clogged jet and a lot of gunk in there. My dad had a problem with it idling under 2000 RPM and I think that might have been part of the problem. Will find out tomorrow, if it doesn't work I will be taking the carb off his truck. Also made a bracket and mounted my fuel pump.

 

Cranked it! Going to try and get it running in the next half hour or so.

 

Oh snap!
Good luck!

 

And we have a problem. Its putting a major load on the ground wire of the alternator.

 

There should be an equal load on the + wire as well

 

Well it was enough to put out smoke. I think it was just a bad ground.
