d.p Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) Looks great man!! You do good quick work. Where did you get those plug wires from? And what kind of fuel pump is that? Edited April 9, 2020 by d.p 1 Quote Link to comment

mainer311 Posted April 10, 2020 Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 Curious to see if that DGEV runs as lean as mine has been with stock jetting. 1 Quote Link to comment

It’s a 38 DGAS, I turned in the mix screws 1/4 from stock so it seems close. I just finished initial engine breakin. Carb and timing Seems pretty good at this point. Will try to get 500-1000 miles before tweaking. Oil change is next. 2 Quote Link to comment

Greaser2 Posted April 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 My washer bag motor works but has a small leak, guessing a seal is bad. Anyone have one for parts maybe. 2 Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 I would check the hoses out of the bag to the pump, and from the pump out to the washer nozzle first. 1 Quote Link to comment

It’s coming out the shaft into the motor area. Amazingly the motor was still spinning even though it was full of water. 1 Quote Link to comment

DanielC Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Roam a junkyard, and look for a washer pump with hose in and out, and swap that pump in. The pump may need to be mounted on the inner fender, if it is too big to fit in the pouch at the bottom of the bag. 1 Quote Link to comment

I am guessing it will not as you have that dual plane manifold. Make that thing wall art and get even a stock intake manifold as it flows better. 1 Quote Link to comment
Greaser2 Posted April 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 I’ve developed an electrical lighting issue. All my lights were working after I put the car back together except backup lights, they are disconnected. Even passed inspection last week. Today -hazards work fine except backup lights(not connected) -headlights and brights work fine. -push on brake: front right turn light comes on and front left turns on weakly. Rear brakes on and right rear turn comes on. -with lights on or off, Turn signal switch operates many lights incorrectly. disconnected the rear harness and the fronts work correctly. Found a mess of melted wires under the bed. Time to make a new harness. Quote Link to comment
