So, I slotted the bracket to within inches of its life and got the cross bar balls to end up identically on each side in how they ended up near the ITB balls. I then made the linkages the exact same length and... it turn out the crossbar doesn’t swing symmetrically and the linkage was a 1/4” different to the bar on one side.

Back to the drawing board and I attached the linkages to the balls without changing their lengths and then adjusted the brackets so everything was sitting properly.

Live and learn.

I warmed the car up and balanced it at 3,000rpm.

This morning I decided to fill up with gas and then do some more auto tuning. Yea, right, apparently I had a lot of lean spots and everyone with a car was on the road too; luckily I was able to bounce from church parking lot to ice arena lot to nursing home lot to get out of traffic and do enough tuning to get back home.

I had a weird random problem where sometimes when I went to drive off from a stop, it would bog down badly, go super lean and want to die in the middle of the road. Didn’t always do it, but when it did, there was another car coming- of course.

May try tomorrow morning early.
