Almost done guys and gals! Thanks for all the help! I couldn't start it today, bad battery.

Question, what did you guys do for the steam vent release?

Thanks again!

Luke
I will be starting the car tomorrow!
Here is the Fuel line mock up. Yes, I will be replacing the lines.

New belt in place!

Sweet wiring mess!

I didn't paint the engine bay becuase the car is going to get restored in a year or two.

I tapped mine into the coolant line but drilling and tapping the top of the water pump and threading in a small nipple seems to be the most common way to go.

Success! I started it on Friday! First try! Sound really good. Open long tubes 230/224 111 LSA

I was going to post a vid, but I forgot the quality was set to best on my digi cam. File size was 180,000+! I will make another one though!
