Everything is done now to begin break in except one thing...

No fuel guage needle movement.

I ran outta time so she'll have to wait for now. 

I'm so happy to see her on her own feet again.


Did you remember the ground strap?

Brad, I got a chance to test the altinator tonight.... :walkaway: its only putting out 11.56 volts.  :faint:

Time to order a new one.  Sad as this one is only two years old.  :swear:  :pullinghair:

I ordered and got the new altenator, pulled off the stock pulley from the new one, and then went to work removing the old altenator. when I pulled it I noticed that the negitive ground to the altenator was off, reattached it and now it outting out 14.56 volts again. I guess I have a spear altenator now, unless I want to send it back.

Re jetting the carb.

Hopefully that'll get it to a lower idle and I can set timing.
All circuits are lean. No vacuum leaks.

Hope to get it back in time for the Mopars Unlimited Spring Round Up.  :2thumbs: Crossed Fingers...
