    Much better, took 2” of arc out of the springs and the radical rake is gone. Now I don’t feel like I’m always going downhill.

    Thanks! It’s already a big muscle sleeper, that whopping 90hp is pretty scary!

    Decided to wrap up a few issues with the van before I pull the trans back out of the 48. It’s still sitting too high in the back so I pulled the leaf springs and am sending the back to the shop to de-arch them a bit more. Also pulled the speedometer for repair, and am also going to make a headliner for the front. After trying to get the rebuilt carb right, I went ahead and bought a new one; runs MUCH better.

    But, if you were driving downhill before, you would have got better fuel mileage! Looks much better level!

    It looks nice but still needs those windows darker.

    Nah, kinda decided from the beginning this would stay a stocker. If I did the windows then i’d need different wheels, then I’d need x, they y, then z, etc, etc.😉
