CARBURETOR: I removed the horn. I really couldn't understand how to set the float level...with or without a tool. Everything inside is clean. I decided to remove it altogether, order kit 903 from The Carburetor Shop and take it to a local guy, Merle of Merles, who's been rebuilding carburetors for 50 years.

THE LITTLE STUFF: I broke a 4-40 tap in one of the holes for the screws that hold the chrome plate under the removable window divider posts. The drill bit doesn't want to drill a hole so I can get an easyout in there.

BACKUP LIGHT: I mounted the switch on the steering column next to the shift levers.
