i was talking to beagle for recommending a big block chevy...

the idle adjustment is hard. the first time i wanted to lower it i ground on the threaded rod until it was where i wanted it.

the best way is to take the pump top off so you can get to the threaded rod. then turn it around so slot is in the front and put the jam nut on the front too.

ok wat do you mean open up the air box rusty
its up to you but you could cut out a big chunk out of the top of your your air box where your air filter is. i did it just cuz its easier than fabbing up something from scratch. when i get mine back together i can try and post a picture if youd like.

it just depends on the rim. you just have to look at it. it should be the same diameter all the way through. where the normal ones have the angle cut in them so the rims get centered on the axel.
