Running a little rough

I took the car in to Patriot Engine on Manor Rd. and they recommended new points and some carburetor work. Jacob referred me to AJB Carburetor Services on South Congress.

Elias at AJB adjusted the air/fuel mixture and throttle but said the carburetor needed some work. The rebuild isn’t much cheaper than a new carburetor so I’ll probably replace the Edelbrock 1406 with a new one this weekend and replace the points and condenser.

I registered Mr. Belvedere as an antique today. I’m not supposed to use the car as a daily driver but since I have the Sportster that shouldn’t be an issue. The upside is that I don’t have to worry about inspection and antique registration is about 20% of the price of standard registration.
