The previous owner had plumbed the fuel system using brake line which is too small. Today I am installing a new gas tank, new fuel pump, and the correct fuel lines with an in-line filter at the carb.
I also have a new set of spark plugs and wires which I may get to today, but it already runs very well so that isn't a top priority.
Tomorrow I plan to service the knuckles, replace the bearings & seals, and while I have the hubs off will install the longer wheel studs that should have been done with the disc brake conversion. The rest of the conversion work looks like it was done right. Should have a set of better wheels coming today or tomorrow, so next week will be cleaning and painting those in preparation for new tires. |

Where did you get the tires? I had tires like that on an M38 I had over 30 years agok, didn't know they still made them. I like the retro look of that tread.
Very nice looking Chassis!
