What did you do to your Mopar today?

Tried firing up new ignition… no fuel.

Replacing fuel pump. Pump rod good.

Adjusted the front height a bit. The pass side bolt really fought me and still needs to move a bit to make it even with the D side. Even tho it appears to be backed out more than the driver's side by a bit. Anyway lowered about an inch.

Been crawling around underneath. Doug said the shifter arm from the steering column needs to drop in to the gear box, with a bit of wiggle room. Well the part that adjusts was rusted frozen to the shaft. Pic shows the pieces BG, before grease. Then I connected a bunch of stuff, like the new master cylinder. Slowly making progress. Might fire next week.

Cam lobe worn?

Nope. Just checking. There was very little fuel pump arm wear. Car only has 8K miles since 1981…. Bad just from stitting. Was put in 7/6/2008. Maybe replaced original here (C-6 = March 1966):

Drove it 15 or so miles to local cruise-in. Seems to be ok. These ‘66 carbs are sorta PITA.

Getting all the pieces connected for the new carb and manifold. Bolted on the new adapter piece for the carb. Rod is too short to connect to the original swivel part. Some things need to move left about one inch for the wider carb. Made a bracket to bolt to the original swivel part. Steel is too hard to drill with my selection of drill bits. Needs a 3/16 hole.
Will buy two drill bits today. Pics when it is connected.
