Productive day. Also pulled the motor. The only carb I had with out worn out throttle shafts was a Brazilian Solex PICT30/31. I couldn't get it running consistent last year with this carb, but I'll rebuild it and see what happens. When I was taking the carb apart the gasket for the float bowl was torn by some type of passage(probably what was fuckn shit up, fuckn shit up old school) and the inside of the carb was full of rust and debri. So it got dipped last night. Hopefully a rebuild will do it good.

I put cabinets in the garage that we took out of a truck at work. The truck was an old US Customs mobile drug lab. The slots are kind of T slots. They have special bolts that lock into them so you can bolt things down to the bench, there are also loops to use as tiedowns.

Got a few things done this weekend. Replaced the axle boots, front trans mount, mounted the oil cooler, installed vents in valve cover, installed stock crank pulley, and installed external oilcooler adapter.
