Somebody yell at me if I'm taking the wrong path.

No-one is yelling, so get busy!

Couldn't find the pump I wanted local so I cleaned my old, 1000 mile one up real good and put it back together. E-fan is off, mechanical back on. Going to pick up some new float needles for the carb tomorrow. The only other thing holding me back right now is figuring out how to limit the advance in my distributor. I've always been getting too much and decided to attack that since it's out. After those two things I'll fire it up and see what happens.

I'll caution against effing with too many things at once. I'll say from experience that sometimes you can solve the problem you set out to but not even know it because while changing things around, you created new problem. Just my $.02, but I would get the car back to "normal" before I'd go changing the advance and stuff like that, which could produce bad results if you f*** something up. Then again, maybe you're not as good at accidentally effing things up as I am :bow

Probably a good idea on the dizzy. I do have one stupid question. Had a brain fart while putting the mechanical fan back on. The outer edges of the blades turn in. When you put it back on, are the ends of the fan supposed to point toward the radiator or engine? It would make sense to point toward the engine but the curve of the blade is greater the other way. (And to think I'm messing with a carb)

This is for normal rotation, or as close to normal as it can be around here.

My fan points to the radiator.

Thanks Mark, perfect. Pete, at first I thought the square shroud was your radiator and was trying to figure out how you fit that beast in there. Then it dawned on me there was no bottom.
