Mark,
Interesting story. If you'd joined the list two weeks ago, you'd have
read my long story about a 65 B. I was on the other end in that I bought
the car after the previous owner had: rebuilt the engine, swapped the rod caps,
and the car developed a familiar knocking noise. I Re-rebuilt the motor,
and the car's doing just fine.
From the sound of your letter, did you only replace the #1 bearing, and
reinstall the incorrect rod cap? If this is the case, I strongly encourage
you to pull the crank, send it in, and also match and size all the rods to
their respective caps.
I especially liked the part about ...adjusted the carbs...etc.
