[T3] headway on the '66 fastback

[Russ Wolfe <russella@prairieinet.net>]

Well, I have been working on the '66 today, and have made a little headway. 
The carbs are back on the engine, but I have found a problem with them. The 
right side carb needs a new short link, and the bell crank. The sockets and 
balls are worn to the point, that after the carb operates a few times, the 
link falls off the bell crank ball. If anyone has some spare carb linkage, 
let me know.
Other than that, I can't get the starter to crank very well. Not fast enough 
to start the engine. I will pull the starter off tomorrow, and see what I 
have. It looks like a fairly new starter. Hmmmm, I wonder by any chance, has 
someone put a 12V starter on it by mistake??????? That is what it acts like. 
Either that, or the starter bushing in the bell housing is completely shot.
Tomorrow will tell.
