Fixing Eddie

[firefire]

Oh! Yes, that is rich. I'd shoot for 14.5 - 15 for cruise, and 12 - 13 for WOT.

Hi.

Today we went for a ride to Stryn. Its a 2 hour drive. The choke worked properly and the afr was back at 14,5 average cruising. Here Eddie attended a show including trucks and cars. This picture shows Eddie beside a Lada.There was many nice american cars to see. Eddie was the only Bullseye I saw Greetings Stein

Nice show.

That little rad car looks like a Fiat 128 that was sold here in the states way back when LOL

In the 2nd picture that red & black convert Ford looks like a late 50's.

Was it a hard top convert? We have a club member with a 58 that is a hard top convert and if he dose not bring his Ford pickup (gm power) he brings the car.

Hi Dave.

You are on the trac. The Lada is a USSR made copy of the Fiat . And the red Ford has a hard top. I talked with the owner. He had bought it from Chicago several years ago.

The club member said his top did not work when he got the car and had a vary hard time finding any information on the top. He did say there are 16 motors and twice as many sensors for wwhen all the way up or down.

That looks like a really neat show! And, it also looks like you got the AFR dialed in.

In the first pic I think I see a 51 Buick, and the 3 Customline Ventiports would indicate a Special. Then a Pontiac, possibly a '67. Then a 56 Olds, then Eddie and the Lada.

In the 2nd one there's the Beemer, a '57 Chevy, a '57 Ford that the lady is leaning on, and then a Volvo behind the Chevy?

I think Eddie wins the prize!

Hi.

The 57 Chevy is a 58 I think. Look at the number plate. V8 1958. You can order them like that .And you are right about the Volvo.

It is still nice weather here. But a little cold.

Went to visit a friend. But he was not home. When I took this picture Eddie idled. And when I got into the car to drive home the power steering was gone:nabble_smiley_oh: Stopped further down at my friends neighbour. Opened the hood and found that the high pressure hose had loosened from the steering pump. Borrowed a wrench and tightened the connection. Filled up with some unknown steering oil, green, that he had. But still leaking. So drove home without power steering, 4 km. At home I found this Maybe I cut the O-ring when tightening the nut. Found a fitting O-ring at home so now its not leaking more. Tomorrow I will flush the system and clean up all the oil mess. The sun is still shining so its beer time:nabble_smiley_happy:

Well, I'm sorry but that is a 1957 Chevy. There's no mistaking a '57 from a '58. I've included a pic of a '58 Impala, which is what I drove to college. However, mine never had the ugly mirrors on the fenders and I removed the "fins" above the headlights when I did the body work. Nor did mine have the fender skirts. In the immortal words of the Beatles, it was a clean machine.

As for your power steering problems, I think you found the culprit. That would certainly do it. But I'll bet that made a huge mess!

And, Stein is going to have a stein?

Add in the power steering problem and it makes sense.

Hi.

I have now settled for now with the green 6hg springs for the metering rods in the carburetor. With them Eddie responds quicker and with more power when given throttle. I try to avoid WOT to often... My welding job on the choke blad was not as good as it looked. Yesterday I noticed the afr read 13,7 when cruising. My welding had loosened. The missing 1/2" of opening the choke affects the afr/ fuel consumption. So seeked help from a professional welder. Took him one minute to do it right. This time it will be good. Have removef the Earl fuel pressure gauge. It shows 6 psi when starting up. But after it gets hot under the hood it reads 3 psi. Took it away. Its just another accesory that may bring me problems.

It is 8 in the evening, temp. 8'C, and the sun is shining. Think I will go for a test drive.
