1986 K10 Short Bed Build

[aotte1]

Photos of engine ready to start. Primed the Edelbrock carb, new with three syringe shots of fuel into each bowl. Started instantly before could get key all thenway on. Timed a little retarded, adjusted to 34 degrees, and adjusted idle mixture ( it was lean) reduced choke spring pressure. Did a few more carb adjustment during first two start ups.
Battery not charging, as had not fully installed wiring ( a switched 12 volt power supply w/ 500 ohm resistor in line). Photo of ACDELCO PT 2145 Wire connector for CS130 alternator ( 12 volt switched power w/resistor wire) when used in pre 1987 trucks. (modified PT 2145 yellow wire end going to switch power). Last photo shows the end to be modified. Ordered from Amazon, Summit only has a few.
