That one is in use on the Dual Riley Carb motor job ...
But would be easy enough to get another one and do a shine up then send it to Kentucky for the dip ....Last edited by Dragstews; 10-02-2020 at 8:57 AM.

Speaking of Polishing ....
These wheels are on my 55 GMC-IH truck ...
I kinda let them get a bit to far with the acid rain we have here in Jungle World ...
Let's see what I can do for em ...

Just about done ....
Had to shorten the new McGard lugnuts about .180" in order for them to work with the Outlaw II wheels ...

That's so nice! Can you leave it like that without it pitting instantly? Or is there some coating you can put on it that preserves the finish?

I tried Sharkhide and it lays down nicely and being self-annealing flows out evenly. I bought a bag of "printer cleaning swabs" (foam instead of shit cotton and solvent-resistant) to reach into crevices. Chrome pits. I avoid it where possible.

How does the wide rib rear tire feel?
I run the old Goodyear Super Eagles but the treads aren't that far apart.

Nice chop. Gotta admit, that was the most entertaining 37 pages of build thread I have ever read. Lol!

I may be able to answer that inquiry ??
The few brain cells that haven't been cooked yet are telling me a 0.029 was in it ...
(Could be wrong, I have slept since the carb was in my greasy hands)

Sounds more like an intermediate jet size than an air bleed number. Originally Posted by Dragstews

Left it at what S&S set it up at, which I think is around 0.040" ...
On my Super B I did do the required machine work to make the air bleed dial-able ...
