Black Betty no start

I think our admin guy gave up. I have marked so many of that guys exact repeat post as spam and his account as hacked but they are all still here. I started marking them monda or sunday night

Yep! Just as I suspected. The Float settings were way off. This'll be the last time I use caliper conversions for Float settings. I also went with conventional needles as the "off road" ones were a little sticky. If I have time I'll remount the AFB and see what happens.

After reinstalling the carb and setting the Air Screws 'Black Betty' fired right up.
Next I've got to remount the Coil, there's a mass of wiring where it normally goes from the scabbed in Ford PDB I used to wire in all of the accessories.

Most of that wiring were ground wires going to the ground bus bar on the firewall. It took a little doing but I now have the Starter Solenoid mounted on the lip of the dual battery tray. I was able to revert back to the Blue Streak Solenoid and now I have easy access if something goes wrong.

Well, I Thought I had access to the Blue Streak Starter Solenoid, turns out it was compromised, I have another one arriving in the coming days though.
