Today and last night I tinkered a bit more with the 60, I installed the blacked out bezels and painted the grill to match, I know it’s going to make a purist wince but holy cow what a difference it made in appearance!
Last night I took the time to learn how to properly set the timing on the engine. This was a first for me and after much hesitation and procrastination to do it I’m absolutely floored with how well this truck runs now! It’s completely a different machine, it has power and actually will probably keep up in traffic.
The unfortunate part is I’m still running my Chinese carb, I’m in need of the plastic spacer that sits between the butterfly valves and the body of the carb on the stock one. It’s a real bummer and it’s not something that I can get off the shelf. When I took off the OEM carb and began cleaning it the damn thing cracked and fell apart. Anyone have a carb floating around they’d let me cannibalize for the plastic spacer?
