Power steering pump is on it's way from turn one. I'm also switching over to synthetic power steering fluid. I'm adding a water pump bypass hose that will hopefully solve my intermittent air pocket that likes to belch and make a mess of my clean engine compartment. That means redesigning my payback plate. I retuned the carburetor with the help of an old veteran by resetting my throttle plates and tweaking the idle mixture screws by ear. It's cured 95%l of my tip in problem. I'm adding a custom distributor bushing that will allow 26 degrees of initial timing. That may completely eleminate the stumble or I'll add another 1/8 turn to the primary side. I'm seriously considering a hydraboost setup right now as well! Oh yeah....looking for a full size truck and car trailer. Nothing going on around here!
