Seems like the new yoke helped. Also have been straightening the cowl little by little with the port a power and blocks of wood. Discovered that my hood is bent, going to have to figure out a way to straighten it. Thinking of ratchet straps and blocks of might might do it.

Progress on my Zephyr
- Thread starter massacre
- Start date
Well i was finally able to get the Zephyr back together. Fabricated some custom attachments for my slide hammer to straighten the firewall around the hinge pockets, had to shim the hood on one side.
It is still damaged, but it's good enough to drive the car and pass inspection.

Recently had to do some work on the car. I had been having a belt squeal issue on startup for a long time now, even when this engine was in a different chassis before. I have no AC, and instead of using a delete pulley, i short-belted the FEAD by using the "al pappito" belt routing. I finally got sick of this noise, and thought it was the alternator. Replaced alternator and the noise changed, but did not go away. Decided to bite the bullet and just get a new delete pulley, new idler and new tensioner with a stock sized belt. Noise went away finally thank god.
I also had to separate a vacuum tee into 2 different sources for the Holley, ended up improving things a bit. And drilled and tapped my TB for a 1/4"-20 throttle blade adjustment screw. The stock adjustment screw was very hard to adjust and the threads were questionable.
I now have a weird issue where the fuel pump will prime but i have no pressure during cranking. This is new, never happened before. So looking into that now.

Did you take any pics of the throttle blade mod?
If you find it convenient.
Been driving the car around, really fun! I even took it to a couple of shows, people seem to like it. It's almost time to put the car away for the season.
i went through the exhaust, had to cut all 4 ends off the catted x pipe and weld on new ends. Fabbed up a new bracket for some new hangers too. Exhaust is rock solid now, but man it drones so bad that i wear earplugs. Around 2k RPM. Ok for cruising but absolutely brutal on the highway.

There is a guy that posted a novel solution for the droning in the Aluminum 2V thread. You might consider something like that to adjust the droning to something more tolerable.
