Would be nice to see you at the next meet

Update on the car, I tried to get it to start today, and the battery is dead. Charged it, put in a new fuel filter, and went to crank, no gas going into the engine. The acc pump works when you push the gas, but after pushing it once and holding the gas open, no gas into the venturies. When I was pumping the **** out of it, after a while I thought I flooded it (normal circumstances it WOULD have been flooded) so I pulled all the plugs and none were wet. The rear leading had a little moist spot but that was it.

No, the FB is irritating me. I don't know what it can be. I would assume carburetor related, and I would hate to have to go buy another carb rebuild kit. I took the top off and made sure the needles wern't sticking, and took out all the jets and whatnot and blew compressed air through it.

both engines are in near perfect condition. the turboII engine was just carbon locked and the 12a had already been disassembled but all parts were in cherry condition. guess we just lucked out but im happy to be well on my way to my turbo engine.
