Re: Randy Berger's 1956 Caribbean

Rebuilt carbs after call to Daytona Carburetor yesterday. They recommended restaking and pinning the rings on the primary ventury. You can see where the old staking was at 12,3,6,and 9. Note the pin attached by drilling a small hole and inserting half of a very small cotter pin to ensure we never lunch the rings. Apparently only 56 Caribbeans have these rings.

Lifted the engine out today and tranny. Will pull core plugs and scrape water jacket tomorrow. Now to call friend Ron to see when he can rebuild tranny.

Installed hydraulic cylinders and connected hoses today. Will run them up and down tomorrow. Have to remember to take turkey baster to garage to refill hydraulic pump.
