I know I know it could of been cleaner, its the best I can do. I changed some things to be cleaner. MAP sensor in cab now Header was installed this time with steering box out as it won't go in with it in. It was scratched up pretty good. Routed both engine and valve cover vents to catch can Pulled all the coil brackets off and cleaned it up by mounting vertical and shorter wires. Of course went back to a little red under the hood All new wire harness Most all nuts and bolts that were not changed out now are Re did the brake lines again, not the best but way better. These items are to just to name a few. Do you know which type of bracket you ordered to fit that Chase Bays coolant overflow tank to your car? There seems to be five choices and I'm not sure which one is best...? Thanks again, JK PS Your car is just beautiful 😍 Edited May 3, 2022 by JK510 1 Quote Link to comment

Much cleaner and nicer. 2 Quote Link to comment

It was denied according to Robellos numbers 222 Hp but that was with carbs. Im doing all this complicate my life fuel injection stuff. I was thinking of upgrading the ECU but the Microsquirt is all I need for this engine. It is running but seems like timing is way off, its popping so pretty sure. Plus I would kick my fat ass for not marking the TDC on the crank pulley before installing. 1 Quote Link to comment
