Call me crazy, but it seems like a vent at the center of the back of the hard top with a shield over top, like a reverse NACA would ventilate the rear of the cabin when moving down the road. Vents of that kind of design are common on aircraft. How it would behave when stopped at a traffic light...

Sounds like it needs the seal kit and maybe a float adjustment. Reducing the jet size may be a good idea. I'd definitely try to re-jet with a carb kit before I'd spend money on a carb with the exact same specs. I'd also make sure the secondaries aren't opening too early.

Thanks for posting this y'all! The pics are amazing. Great that you could help them get out an wheel. Looks like a great time.

I served with a bunch of Viet Nam vets early in my career who flew, crewed and were door gunners on Huey's. Probably the single most dangerous job in the war. I had a first sergeant in the eighties who did two tours in the infantry then re-enlisted to become a crew chief. He said every time he...

My wife and I visited that amazing place a couple years ago.

Sounds great to me.

I'd be happy to take it off your hands if you can find it!

I bought it from another member, lightly used and looking like new. Ran great for 8 miles, then took a dump.

I hate that whole justification part. I had an opportunity to buy one for aircraft magnetos, but same issue.

All I have to say is, from years of setting dwell and gapping points and setting timing, at least they put the distributor in the front!

Tell us how you really feel…😂

Never used the brass, didn’t like what I read about them.

Maybe to keep you from installing the gear upside down? I’ve changed a few. I bought a kit with about 25 different sizes (for airplane use, but same same).

You’re correct, but the installation instructions specify less that 1.5 ohms, which the coil I’m using is advertised to be. The total system resistance is supposed to be less than 4.5 ohms, which also checks. I just seem to be really adept at getting the “how did that happen?” anomalous problems...

It is a roller. Needs the brass or iron gear. Not too hard to swap gears though.
