Got the car running pretty well. With the power valve in the Qjet stuck in the "up" position, it was running really rich... when it ran. Could not get it started without starting fluid. Now it starts instantly, and the divorced choke set up works great.

Also changed spark plugs last night. All were black and sooty. Three of them came out with just my fingers. None were tight. Have some original wire looms coming so I can correctly route all the plug wires.

Sherri and I made a run to Braums for frozen yogurt cones. Runs really well. Need to adjust the kickdown linkage as it was taking too long to shift out of low.

Overall, really happy with how it drives. Has some vibration coming up from the exhaust because of how some moron mounted it. I can see threaded holes for factory hangers, but no hangers there. Mounted stiff to the frame on both sides.
Steering is a bit loose, but I think it still has the original tie rods. Shows 84,000 miles and that may be original.

Got the spinners cleaned up and installed.

Just to give you an idea of how rich it had been running, check out the trail of soot left on my shop floor from the first start after rebuilding the Qjet.
