So I've been a busy bee today. The main focus was making sure that I had all of the carburetor linkage and that it was correctly connected. The cruise control connects right up to the linkage with no issues. The springs I got from Year One are perfect. The only thing that irks me a bit is that the '83 B150 air cleaner I got from the junkyard is missing the pre-heat flap, which I didn't catch at the time. The flip side to that is that the original 2BBL air cleaner never had a pre-heat option, so I can live with it for now.
The other part of my day was spent hunting for parts that I still need, and I was lucky there too. I found the electric choke control, a used P/S pump pulley, and the original battery hold down bolts and a correct repro clamp. I had one bolt, but the other was missing.
So now that I know that everything fits, it's time to tear it all back down to the what I brought home from the engine builder's, so that I have as little weight as possible for my cherry picker.
Here's the pics.
