Edit feature is turned off for a reason.
We would rather you just make another post indicating what mistake was done, and the correction. We don't care about typo'* etc. Unless its a run-on paragraph, or novel.

Car has been driven now for a couple of hours and everything seems to be fine. Hot day, hot engine, oilpressure on idle is about 40psi. No overheat problems, no leaks of any kind. Id say this is a success.
carburettor is total trash. It has been repaired twice but the acceleration pump cant be fixed.
I will post if any problems occur, or i if i do some more work to it.
Thank you all for help. Next project is maybe gonna be ford v8...

Car has been working just fine. One problem occured and i blame the owner. The hood didnt latch properly and it popped up when he was driving and it bent the hinges pretty badly. Luckily, only hinges got bent, nothing more.

Lucky it is not like on older cars, I had an old *** Toyota, or maybe it it was something else, I forget now...
I know the hood came up and slammed into the windshield, scared the **** out of me, I had to duck down to see where the hell I was going..

Hello again from Finland with another summer time!
Its me with another little question.
This car got new Edelbrock 600cfm carb and its working little better.
Still has that stumble when the gas pedal is pressed slowly. If pressed fast, car goes normally.
Do i need to change jetting or something?
Its out-of-the-box condition.
Works way better than original.
Any advice?
