Re: Fw: Progress on my 64 Fury

["MO ( Steve Mick)" <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Gary. OH for sure I will not drive it again without having the 
kickdown linkage hooked up. there is not a provision on this carb for it, so 
I will have to fab something. I drove it less than a mile. I just HAD to see 
how things were working. I checked the fuel filter previously. I don't think 
it is the tank sock because under acceleration, it pulls good without 
missing.  I do believe it is in the untested carb I put on or possibly 
timeing chain or valve -spark timeing.  At least now that it is running, I 
can diagnose things one at a time. I do want next to check the crank to 
rotor play as someone here mentioned . any other input is 
welcome........................MO
