oh and take all your plumbing up there to Paul Powdercoating and let him coat them. He did mine and they came out looking really good for a good price to. just something to think about. Ever since I powdercoated one thing I have to coat everything now :D

I'm planning on powdercoating the plumbing when it's all finished. No sense in scratching it when i will still have to change some things up.

Not many ppl did. :cool:
And as for the wheels that's my favorite part of the car. :D

Lets just say conservative timing and keeping my foot out of it works wonders and the car seems to run great so far. I won't be doing anything but putting around town in it till i get all the fuel system upgraded.

lengthen the acuator arms as much as you can and put some E clips on the lever to hold the on. just to be safe.
