Maybe I should run regular in it instead of the good stuff. Probably won't hurt anything at this point. Oh well, I guess I threw away the $1000 I have into this thing. Made a pretty good boat anchor.
I guess I will just drive it around and be done with it.
My next big hurdle will be if it passes smog or not.

Had to put a balance plate between the crank and flywheel to balance the motor. I believe the casting numbers are 882. according to searches on the net they are 76cc chamber heads. 2.02" intake valves ported and polished. Dish pistons.
