I finally got the Eldebrock carb, new starter, brake calipers on just in time for our next trip.  Spent the day cleaning and testing systems for our first outing since October!  It's gonna be hot but I'm off this week and plan to camp, swim, fish and relax the week away in my portable, custom home!  Pictures forthcoming when we return!

We only had one problem on the 45 min trip over.  When I installed the Edelbock, I had to move the mount for the throttle cable.  I didn't think about it being closer to the linkage, shortening my cable range.  I only had 1/2 throttle all the way over so it was 60mph on flat sections and 30 on grades!  Ill fix that when we get back!

Awesome!  I'll bet you were chomping at the bit to get home and fix the linkage.
