Well, pretty decent...It's
a handful to drive, and a blast at the same
time. With so much power on hand, and a
short wheel base, it can get pretty
squirrelly. At full throttle you really have
to "aim" it. It's reminiscent of playing one of those car racing video games for the first time. Just like on a browser MMORPG it takes some time getting used to handling the car.
If you ever read about new
cars, they talk a lot about the NVH factor.
Noise, Vibration and Harshness. This thing
has it all in HIGH levels, and I'm loving
every bit of it.
I ended up replacing the
outer carb bases with stock units, with idle
jets, and then synchronize them at idle. I
also set the secondary's to kick in earlier.
I am using 45 jets in all the carbs, but I
am thinking of going with 48's or so in the
center carb, for a little fatter mid range
cruising. It idles a little high, but it
sure beats having no idle.
The choice finally fell on
'40 Deluxe caps. Clean and simple.
After getting the carbs in
decent order, I could add the chrome nut
covers for some detail.
Ok, one more artsy fartsy...
There you have it. A hot
rod ready to rumble. I still have a lot of
adjustments etc to make, but it's a running
driving hot rod, and DAMN is it fun !
