First job was to set up the TV arm correctly. Learning new things but it looks like the 700r4 really needs the cable set correctly or you can burn the trans out within miles :shock: Its not just a kick down cable.

The arm was completely wrong but luckily not in a bad way. Needs a 1in leverage and was set to about 2in so it was driving the line pressure up really quickly.

Adjusted rockers. Still a bit tappity sounding so not sure whats going on there. Maybe a stuck lifter.

It had a dead spot at tip in and surging at cruise. Im certain the timing is good now so went over the carb. It was all gunked up, wire brush in the float bowl and a bent metering rod. Gave it a full rebuild and its now great.

Have a new dash and engine harness to put in to clean things up. The fuse block looks ridiculous. Theres a lot of surface rust/corrosion under the dash but only from pedal height up which is weird. The rest of the car is great so I dont know if things just get humid under a dash?

Did some painting and started assembling things.

I have another vote. Should I just clean up the rocker covers or go black wrinkle with ali fins?

Black with ali fins = :blink: Confused

Raw ali patinaed:sad: Sad
