-ordered new seat belts, after 7 years I've gotten tired of the 4 point harness
-vacuum gauge, tested, shows half the correct value, new ordered
-discovered the boot around front part of steering column was not in the right place, fixed to avoid noise and air
-ordered new ign switch, 70-73 Ford Escort for mine
-when coasting in queues the car tended to jump back and forth, back and forth, don't know if I explain this well. Changed the geometry on the carb linkage at the carb to make it a bit more indirect. This of course gives longer pedal travel, approx 1 cm, but that's OK, it was a bit too direct for my taste. Full travel still opens secondaries to vertical. Actually surfed the web to find a solution that's truly progressive with a cable around a cam, didn't find anything
-wheels need balancing

All done except the vacuum gauge is on its way. The old seat belts are for sale in the proper section of this forum. Carb linkage geometry change made a world of difference, less jumping, and the throttle now feels like a modern drive by wire. Now, where should I drive to...?
