Seat should be ready in a few weeks. If all goes good should be riding in about 2 or 3 weeks

How are things coming along with the fuel and ignition systems? Getting closer to having a runner again?

If my gas tank straps would come I’d be good to go. I’m a little worried about setting up the brake prop valve but there is a HS parking lot about a mile from me that I can creep to and do my best to set them up

Part of the reason I took that sniper off was because of the rats nest of wiring. I can honestly say for my part at least that the hardest part of the aesthetic part of this build is all these damn wires and hiding them. I am not an “I can’t” type of person but I am just not good at this. I am hoping that with some black loom and the air cleaner on it will loom passable because it really is a beautiful engine. It’s not just the electrical wire. I have hydroboost hoses and such running everywhere. The brake line from the prop valve to rear brake line was inaccessible so I had to have it made out of hydraulic hose with the proper ends crimped on at NAPA ( all in 105 dollars for 14 inches of hose and two ends, thanks Brandon). To me it just looks like a mess and if I move one thing it interferes with something else. Oh well just feeling frustrated.

Try to remember that it can take time to figure out how to optimize/organize some things, it will never be 'perfect' right out of the gate.
That's actually a good thing, because over time, it gives you stuff to tinker with on weekends and spare time. You can always go back and 'clean stuff up'. Get it drivable and reliable, enjoy it some, then do some clean up stuff. .

Well the car has moved around in the yard under its own power for the first time in 5 1/2 years. No leaks I can find and everything seems to work.

I have to set the float level because of a flooding issue. The fuel is all the way up at the top of the bowl. Is there any way to get fuel out of the bowl without a hell of a mess?

Just run it at idle and adjust the float down. It will use up the fuel as you adjust. Just remember, the adjuster is the nut, the slotted screw is the lock. Loosen the lock screw and turn the adjuster clockwise (it's reverse threaded so it's opposite of logic) to lower the float until the fuel level is centered in the sight glass. Then hold the nut with your wrench and tighten the locking screw down.

This is incorrect. It is NOT reverse (left-handed) threads. It is right-hand threaded. It is true that the nut turns the needle and seat assemble and the slotted screw is the "jam-nut" or locking device. Turning the nut clockwise lowers the needle and seat. That pushes the float, and subsequent fuel level, down. Don't keep running the car with the bowl overfilled. Loosen the screw and turn the nut a few revolutions clockwise. Now start the car, remove the sight plug and hopefully bring the fuel level UP to where it needs to be. Just put a rag under the sight plug hole in case it still spills some out.

I just don’t want gas everywhere. I guess stuff rags around it?
