I have a '66--no ground wire, but I'm thinking I'll put some in myself.

***

Began to play with the carbs, and let the car idle for 20 minutes or so, before getting ready to take it to the mechanic who's going to do my inspection. When I went back out to the car I got in the driver's seat, smelled smoke...um, let's turn around and check this out--well, the back seat was smokin! Actually pouring out of the center arm rest, . Turned off car, got underneath it, pulled up the carseat (plywood underside was blackened), muffler apparently heating up like a coal(??!?). Idling too rich? It's running on all four cylinders, because the spark plugs were just changed.

A quick way to get the latest in "heated seats," or my first Volvo barbecue (interrupted, at least!)?

What on the damper actualy gets "worn"?

At any rate, I think my problems extend beyond the dampers at the moment. Need to do some SU reading right now...

thanks for the carb advice; lacking more expertise I'm thinking I'll just go buy the gadget that helps you synch them properly.

Never a dull moment!
