Almost 99% sure its just a trickle. If its "pumping" i should see steady consistent squirts into the filter... correct??

With modern technology one could drain the top portion of the line going to the carb, hook it back up, get the video rolling and then start it or just turn it over to pressurize the line. Not saying you need to do this, but if you feel compelled to, by all means do. :cheers:

Yes, the rallys look great ! Here’s a cool little trick, change the hex bolts on the center caps to polished stainless

Exactly my plan! Saw your post a little while back about it, that looks great! I need to find some chrome bumper paint too, my center caps are tired

Not too bad, I can tell that your door has some sag and is rubbing the rocker.

I got the same issue on my truck, but to a much larger extent.

At least its in the door jam, you could fix it easilly without having to worry about a color match to the rest of the truck.

Fixed the fuel pump wiring on the '88 Burb. Also replaced the brake lines to both front wheels. It stops now, yay. I fully intended to just jam some lines in it and connect them at the ends. But I just couldn't do it. So they are properly bent and the correct length.

That looks really good. What did you paint the frame with?

Drove it yo the corner store yo fill it up to get ready for exhaust install tomorrow.

Stopping at the stop sign the right back tire locked up for a second. So it looks as though I need to do a brake job before I start.driving it. Don't look forward too it because I need a helper to bleed them. Maybe it would be a good time while most are home during the Chinese virus BS.

Adjusted the steering wheel on Goldie- when I had aligned last time I had a pull to the right, so I had them offset the wheel to the left. Doesn't make sense now to me, but it did at the time. :anitoof:

Anyhoo, the new tires solved the pull problem, but I had the offset wheel.

Today I decided to fix it- the fact that my mechanic neighbor was out so I could borrow a pipe wrench helped my decision.

:)

Went too far the 1st time - of course- but I think I got it now.

Looking down thru the fender well if you pull the pipe wrench towards you it moves the steering wheel to the left.

Total guesswork as to how much to turn it to get where you want, but I am happy- for now :D - with the results.

I filled my 20 gal saddle yesterday and cost me $20.50!! Wish both my tanks worked!

Still $ 1.52 a gallon here- my daily top off was 8 something bux.

So, roughly 45 bux a week for gas , which is not too bad, but when it gets back to $ 2.50 plus a gallon...

Maybe by then the new high horsepower, fuel efficient engine will be in.:p

OK - at least 250 HP versus the maybe 160 I have now ...

:oops:
