L78 is back up and running!

with no fuel leaks, yay. But the rebuilt carb has a slight bog/hesitation off idle and makes it very difficult to drive. I need to figure out what the problem is but at least it's running again. Nothing like doing a bog filled test ride up the road at 55-60 mph only to notice the cop behind you(35 mph road). I did a couple of quick rights to head back to the house and I guess he didn't care or didn't have his radar on. I forgot how good the dual 3" exhaust sounds but I also smell like exhaust so it's time to go clean up and have a few

the exact reason why i need tailpipes...with it dumping under the car if i open my window, it sucks the exhaust right up the side and inside the car

smells good at the time....but CO is bad and so is the smell afterwards
