I set the fuel level in the carb about to where it should be for a stock motor, it ran rich WITHOUT the PCV hose, and leaned out with the PCV hooked up to where I turned the idle mixture screw out maybe 2 turns to get good idle. The rest is a mystery still. Using a regular heated narrow band O2 sensor and a voltmeter for now. Haven't wired it in yet. Needs heater wires connected. Lots of little loose ends to fix and go from "temporary" to permanent. Like mount the battery in the trunk. I fixed the battery tray corner rust, but did not fabricate a new battery tray there, I want it in the trunk instead. Forgot to look for boxes today, darnit. I have some heavy gauge cable that I can try.
Didn't accomplish anything today, worked late and came home and ended up talking with the neighbor in his garage, he's a british car nut.
