Can't find a cheap commuter car to replace the squareback, so I have decided to press the notch back into daily driver status. So, the carbs will go back on the car again.
This will give me a solid car that I can transport my kids in!


Why don't you drop the '68 body onto your automatic pan, install your dual Solexes and some Cal look el cheapovich seals for now, and go?

How cheap is a "cheap commuter car" on your planet? On the other hand, that info will probably just make me angry. Laughing

Because I can do the notch in less time, with less time for now. I know it will be sound... then I can take my time on the squareback to do it right and not rushed.

Well, I have all the turbo stuff off the engine and the DCNFs back on. Just awaiting the battery to charge to fire it off and re-time it with the non turbo distributor.
I have a car show 150 miles away to attend on Saturday, then I will be driving to Colorado in a couple weeks...

The turbo stuff is going on the 1835 after I return.

Went for a test drive... need to adjust the fuel pressure a touch, route a breather line better and clean the car. oh, and hook up the LM-1 since it doesn't have a power source hooked up.

Since my speedo has never worked, the tach helps with keeping speed in check since I know my RPM vs. speed numbers

I think I am going to put the Split Second a/f meter in tonight in the notch. It is a narrow band, but that's okay. It will just be another way to look to see if something suddenly changes. I have the thing already set up for the LM-1, so it should be a quick swap.

It was good to see you both today! The 34 still looks great.
