I did a quick test drive tonight of about a mile and the car didn't die, so that's good. But it's still not running totally smoothly. It seems to struggle a bit at speed (35mph and up) and the idle is definitely not smooth.
I had gone through all the timing before, but I may need to do it again. Something isn't correct....too much stumbling at idle. The engine shakes a bit and I can hear it in the exhaust.
Meanwhile, I am continuing to work on getting the body parts put back together. Sidemounts on, front bumper on, and the remaining chrome trim. Still working on fishing wires up into the headlight housings.
