Hi Listers!
Dave is still scheduled to fly into Kansas City tomorrow night to pick up
a 65 Camper that I'm the middle man on. The last report from Dave to the
list was inappropriate engine behavior on the '65's single port. Here's
what the problems were:
Valve adjustment needed attention
The coil wires were criss-crossed
Condensor & points were shot (vacuum advance is fine though)
The brass snubbers on the spark plugs were not utilized as the spark
plug wires needed them causing timing wierdness
'65 only wiper motor is nowhere to be found and the 66 wiper motor
that came with it will not easily fit
One kingpin needs attention
Wiring is minimal (lights etc. are not hooked up)
*None of these things seemed to bother Dave. We'll spend Thursday
getting things together for his trip back to Atlanta
Good things:
Compression is 130 130 130 136
All new door seals (yet to be installed)
Incredible rust-free California body freshly painted with pale yellow
primer/sealer
Restored side slat camper windows with new safety glass.
New Brakes
Has new uninstalled WCM wiring harness
Has *new* wiper arms and blades
Stay tuned...
