Back to the work grind I checked the tire pressure today since I realized I never did that. Darn good thing I did! One of the rear tires, which has a max of 41 psi, was at over 60 psi for some reason and the other rear tire was a little over 50 psi... people are crazy

Been busy messing with my trains and work BUT yesterday I went to the big city and snooped around the junkyard and found some bits that don’t help anything but are kinda cool. Still trying to figure out how the under hood light works

Nice finds. The underhood light is retractable, spring-loaded. Mounts under the hood on passenger side close to cowl and connects to single gray plug on driver firewall. Might need some lube in there.

Make sure black wire grounds to hood and that hood itself is properly grounded. I think the act of pulling the wire out will turn it on. Not sure.. also check bulb.

I’m finally getting around to rebuilding the carburetor but I noticed these are different, is that an issue?

Apparently that’s for the 2.8 L engine and it only came with that one. Great start...

I got it figured out! There was an add on stem in the bottom of the box. Next question, does this port just need to be closed off?

That's probably the vacuum advance port. Should run to the distributor.
