I see that you used a different temp sensor... I have more than one in the part box.. Untill I found the one that worked correctly. llol

I ended up using a double bladed sensor as I was screwing it in the alumium intake and was worried about the ground...

Nice job on the tube.

Wish I had used the E carb.. these Hollies are so sensetive to set and keep set

Hey I like your work bench.. where did you get the top.. looks like a woodshop table top from school... LOL
Thanks for the advise on the brake fitting. All my line are in this is just an extra port I need to plug. I'll go back to the parts store and look again.

I'm still using the same temp sensor. I did remove the teflon and put some dope on it. I believe it was you that mentioned the teflon might affect the ground.

I got the table top from my Dad, no clue where it came from.

I'll do some more searching at the local store, BTW thanks for chimming in.

Working on the interior door panels. Also got the muffler pipe for the upper water hose enlarged a little to fit the hose better.

Got the TV cable bracket for the carb and the cable bracket for the cable itself which includes the return springs. The bracket is actually a throttle cable bracket, but I don't see any harm in using as a TV cable bracket. The cable is routed higher that normal, but there is no interferrance. Am I wrong? When I move the throttle, the rod actually moves away from the TV cable bracket.

I also did a lot of reading on how to adjust the TV cable. If I read it right I held the throttle at WOT and pulled the TV cable out til it stops and tightened it down. TV 101 is a good read that I will read again.

The last 2 pics are a before and after.
