Default On the road!!

So I "stole" the plates off my '85 Jetta and took my 745 out for a 30 mile drive to burn the oil off the manifolds and see how it ran and I was impressed! It was at night and initially I was leaving quite a bit of smoke under acceleration but it cleared up a little towards the end of the test. I'll adjust the fuel screw and LDA settings once I put my new nozzles in this weekend.

Here's the update on the clutch replacement.

Per v8volvo, his suggestion about the pilot bearing is correct. Here's the two pictures I took of the original INA and the "replacement" Kolb. The stock INA part number is clearly visible as well as the seal that v8volvo mentioned. After cleaning the original I just greased it and put it back in.
