As far as progress, I got the carb attached today (see pic) and hoping to finish all the connections and hook up tomorrow and turn the key this weekend. Keep your fingers crossed.

Well, we're calling this one done. After about a year and a half in the garage we finally got her back on the road. This was an interesting project full of hurdles and "surprises" along the way. Thanks to my mechanic who stuck with it and eventually figured out all the issues, some we caused some come from other suppliers we used. I've had it back about a week now and have been testing it out over various driving conditions. I gave it a good polish today, attached are some pictures.

Dave thanks. There were many issues, form the timing mark on the front pulley being 120 degrees out to so many issues with getting the carb settings right. The main culprit though was definitely the carb, took about 6 months to get it right.
