With all this snow on the ground right now along with an extended stretch of cold weather warnings, spring and putting it back together again for real seems like a long ways away. Cleaned up this set of carbs a bit and touched up the valve covers again. Found the points and advance housings will polish up nicely too.
Just had to do one last mockup a couple of weeks ago to have a peek before bagging everything up again.
And now, for the rest of the story………..
Right now I’m sitting here looking at my new pistons and bits and can’t help but reflect on what a changing world we live in, the power of the internet, this amazing forum, and the friendships that are forged here.
When I discovered that cruizinimage would not ship these to Canada, or to a PO box, DanielBlack offered to add them to his order. We could save on some shipping, and they arrived in Phoenix. As you likely read Maxpete from Windsor, ON, 120 miles to my west, was in Phoenix for a post Christmas holiday with his family. Pistons were handed off to Pete and brought to Canada in his suitcase. One of Pete’s daughters is attending Western University here in London and she passed them off to me today.
Wow. Back in May 2016 when I started cleaning up this old girl I couldn’t even have dreamed up a story like this.
Thank you all, and to everyone here, all the best for 2018!
