Default The Capri is ALIVE!!!

Welp took her for a spin around the block...Just a few little things to work out, but she sounded and ran good for running so darn rich (shes running really rich and fowling plugs,might be power valve??) and gotta re adjust the brake light switch, move the fuel pump and filter up more, things like that!!!... Here's a video, and all complaints about sound quality should be sent to Stephan!!!! Hahahah

Thanks Stephan for comming by again..Happy Thanksgiving all....

Yeah, thanks guys...I am going to take the carb off and bring it to Gearheads and let them check it out, cause it didnt backfire of nothing, but a friend of mine says it sounds like the power valve is causing whats going on. so I bought it brand new and if something is wrong they will switch it out Lenord said. So who knows, but I gotta solve it SOOON...

Ill let ya know Shaun if I need some help,, I know ill need fine tuning help for sure! but gotta make it more drivable before I can bring it down that way, unless ya wanna head this way and we can also.....ummmmmm pass dat sheet also!!!WOOOT

And again Stephan, youve been much help lately.. THANKS
