Hey Chas - another trivial project - shifter boot

[DanEC]

Well - back from the test drive and good to report that when in third it seemed well anchored there and no hint of "kick out". Pretty sure the boot has been the problem because it happened about every time when I first got it running but after positioning the boot down lower it became less frequent until it was just once maybe every 2 or 3 drives. You can see how low my shifter rests in 3rd gear in this photo.



Just no room for all that rubber.

Yeah, if 428Street was reporting in at all I would be worried about the reaction, but I haven't heard from him in quite a while. Must be off fishing.

It looks like next I may have to re-work the secondaries. I tried Patrick's zip-tie trick and punched it pretty good in 3rd but looks like the secondaries never budged. I guess the jump I'm feeling is just the rear carb primaries opening up. Apparently need some lighter springs in the secondary pots. Not that it felt short of forward thrust however.

Sorry Chase - since I got married 34 years ago I haven't ventured into anything remotely resembling food prep - except grilling a couple hamburgers every few years. And those usually turn out kind of iffy.
