Update on the 145... :-P Part. 2 140-160

I called him earlier today and asked him to pick up a regulator to see if that'll stop the overflowing and make it driveable... Lo and behold:

Kyle,

Well, the regulator worked pretty well, and the car ran without overflowing the float bowls. We drove it
to another street so it won't be towed. It started strong but those HS6s are in desperate need of some
tuning, so I'd suggest bringing yours up. There is a lot of backfiring from the rear carb. Anyways, Kaci
finally showed some initiative and started doing legwork on the title, so I may be able to get you that
too. If we do, we can work out the price when you show up.

BTW, the regulator was $26 and reads in apx. PSI - car seems to be doing well at 3psi, and struggled a
bit at 2.5. Anyways, tuned carbs will make all the difference.


I still kinda want to drive it with the HS6s on it so I don't have to go through the hassle... We'll see.
