    I originally was going to run a tube between the distributor and carb and weld to the tower plates but my breather is in the way. So then I just added the cross tube behind the carb.

    Took said Maverick for a ride after adjusting the carb, and getting the ignition troubles fixed. Ran fine, just needs a few more tweeks and cleanup for the Gathering!!!

    It means the tank sealer delaminated from the tank and looks like a plastic bag it was stopping up the fuel line (an-12 (3/4")

    Removed the old plastic coolant recovery container and installed a ss 2"*15* lg round unit. The org. container was/had cracked arnd the mounting tab.

    After that, I proceeded to go for a little ride to a local cruise abt 20mi to test my AC. It's workin OK. Ready for the upcoming summer distant trips/show/gatherings/events or whatever.
