I finely got it on the road, it didn't have the power it should have. It was sluggish and running warm. I had noticed that the injector pump was at full adjustment (advanced) and with the way it was running , all indications were that it was still retarded a little.
instead of taking it back to the guy that installed it , I did it my self. I set the engine to 26 degrees and removed the pump and re-clocked it, resetting it buy the drip method and now its setting 1/2 way though its adjustment range. Its starts better and runs so much better now.
Its still no speed demon, but that three legged turtle wont get me next time, maybe I can win back some of my money.
I took some pics but I cant find the camera to load, but I will when I find it. I do have one question, what is this switch for? its the one in the upper left of the photo next to the hazard switch.
Thanks RussK

Your G is coming along well, looking forward to your stories once you start taking trips. Your other toy looks like a 40's Cadillac. Is it and what model?

I did a few things, traced a non functional head light and blower motor to poor connection at the fuse block. I got the fluids changed out.
Here is a pic with my other toy behind it.

The freshly painted wheels made it look so much better.

Thanks , I still has some work to do on the old girl but I'm pleased the way she is turning out.
Here is a link to my cadi in the background http://forums.cadillaclasalleclub.org/index.php?topic=131605.0
It sat for 30 years before I got it, similar story to the G, Russ
Followed your link and read the story on your Cadillac. Looks like you have a talent for bringing back vehicles that were on life support. Nice job!

Well its been a while, I have had so many things going on at work and at home,the work on the G has been on the back burner.
That's not saying that I haven't made any progress, just not as much as I would had hoped.
I have fixed some rust issues here are the picks
cant tell its been repaired
it has come along way from when I got it.
to what it is today.
