I finally got a few days to work on my 8, I got the connecting rods facing the correct direction along with the caps.
Connected the trans to it and put the manifold on it and I figured I would finally turn the carb around since it was facing backwards since I bought it. I assumed it was a go fast trick but everyone said it was BS so I got tired of having to explain it so I turned it around.... and it does not fit, I need a spacer, the throttle linkage does not clear the manifold runner. How stupid is that? you woudl figure it woudl fit either way.
So tomorrow I hope to find a spacer and have it back into the car tomorrow. Son is at college, daughter is going to her BF party.. just me and the dog. I leave the door open and he sits in the car on the passanger seat watching me struggle.
