6 Rigs made it out for this fairly tame but very scenic run. Pizza was consumed in copious amounts although the craft fair eluded us....for now! Major thanks to everyone who came out! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Great day, here's some pics!

You have some beautiful pictures, with the mountains in the background. Looks like a good group of rigs too!

my pile DID NOT like that awkwardly compound angle off camber hill in the pic. I was taking it kinda slow and it started to die out. Gassed it up and over and as soon as it hit flat land it shut itself off in protest LOL

That is EXACTLY why I yanked my 1406 off and put a Holley on mine. Even with the offroad kit my jeep would blubber, sputter and die on some of the easiest trails.
Since the swap, my blood pressure has dropped substantially.

Yeah, i'm well aware that the 1406, while a great carb, is pretty turrable for anything other than hotrodding around on pavement.

I'd love to do a holley, but im on the cusp of going EFI, possibly, and dont want to invest in a new carb.

My 1406, that dr. Marn and myself just rebuilt with the off roading kit, performed flawless on my rig.
I too am going fuel injection so it will probably be for sale soon.........

It looks like a great time. That's a rather ecletic group of rigs. Thank you for sharing the pics.
