16 APR 2023 - Electric Headlight cover project
Still have not finalized the actuator pieces for the linear motors. Will continue to work on that. Also still looking into final layout of electrical wiring.
16 APR 2023 - Edelbrock carb rebuild and fuel filter
Finally completed rebuild tune-up of Edelbrock 1405 carb. Had to do a complete carb "overhaul". Purchased an Edelbrock 1477 rebuild kit. Also replaced the universal fuel filter that is installed between the fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator. So far no leaks. Need to test drive in the morning and it should be ok. Might still need to make carb adjustments. Check plugs(don't forget to redesign spark plug holder and print one for use in the garage). Probably need to replace rubber fuel line from tank to steel fuel line, and the rubber fuel line that connects the two steel lines from the tank and to the fuel pump.
