Well, nothing caught on fire. New starter cranked great, no leaks in the fuel lines or oil from the new fuel pump and carb. Pan gasket seeped a little and I torqued it down a bit.
But a few problems:
1. Ammeter shows a big draw while running. I wired it just like my diagram (the diagram is looking at the ammeter face - battery/starter on side with the negative.) Is this backwards?
2. Dummy light doesn�t come on at all - running or not. I used a liscence plate light from Napa. Is it too big or something?
3. Horn just kinda �eeeks�. I think it may be the horn it�s self but who knows.
4. Lights worked then stopped. Fuse looks ok. I used a generic light switch from Napa so who knows if it�s wired right. I�ll have to experiment a bit.
5. Fuel gauge doesn�t work but it�s probably the sender.
6. Temp gauge isn�t working I don�t think. It�s brand new from Kaiser. How the heck could I screw that up? I put in a 165 thermostat and it doesn�t look like it opened after 5 minutes of idle because the water level was the same after a full drain, but it should have at least registered some temp. That ones frustrating.
Anyways, just glad it ran after all of the stuff I could have screwed up. New carb, fuel pump, thermostat, hoses, plugs and wires, coil, key start, starter, light switch, horn switch, and seat belts (wife demanded them for my kid).
I�ll attach a pic of the ammeter and my fuel pump. My question on the fuel pump was if the fuel level looks right. I haven�t had one with a glass bowl before.
