Thank you for the information Ben. I don't know what I'm doing.

I'm having a super hard time finding these fittings. The FPR takes -6 an. I need it to come out for 5/16" fuel hoses. Link to fittings?

SO!!!! With all the annoying back story out of the way, here is this week on the car! the manual swap is done, thanks to a AZC lightened flywheel and some other fun toys. No photos of the swap cause I'm lazy! And swapping transmissions isn't exactly exciting.

 

I did get bored one day and decide that i needed to spend money i dont have, which resulted in this...

 

 

GOLD WRAPPED HARNESS!!!!!!! In the background, you can see the offending cycinders/lack of header oxidation on #1 and #5. The main reason for this most recent teardown!

 

I also did a TON of work on the intake. I found a junkyard '76 with a non EGR intake and decided to shave it. Also started the conversion to an s14 throttle body, for the cleanliness. That and linkage throttle is dumb haha. Got it shaved and welded up and powdercoated. the powdercoating was done by a friend of mine, and while he is a nice guy and didn't charge me for it, it does look now like the intake manifold is made out of clay! High performance ceramic anybody?

 

 

 

Oh well, it looks way sicker than the stock cast manifold and there's no fun in being too serious about these things so screw it! You can also see the new fuel rail made by Mr. Pallnet complete with pressure gauge! Very exciting things.

 

I also added a wool sock to the engine bay....

 

So between the wool sock header and the clay pot intake I'm doing pretty good!!

 

Got a chance to refresh the steering rack bushings and after much torching, the tie rod ends gave it up and those got replaced. Once its running again, might actually have some steering potential!

Does your engine run ok with a breather on the valve cover? I've read a lot about EFI setups not liking that so much.
