there it is :)

i like it much

Nice job Eric, That really does look very nice. What exactly is the regulator fo? Later Mike

Im gonna get me a msd ignition box someday. Ill probably end up getting the offroad unit that is sealed so what doesnt effect it...Later Mike

i've had the msd box mounted there since i put the engine in back in april, no problems what so ever yet. and besides, if its raining bad enough to throw water all over the engine compartment, i wont be driving in it.

and the regulator wont leak. it -AN ports and is sealed with o-rings. i've checked and double checked, it isnt gonna leak :)

and i got the regulator because edelbrock carbs dont like anymore than 5.5psi MAX. my fuel pump puts out between 6.5-8.5 at idle. i got it hoping it would help with the rich idle condition, it has a little bit, but its mostly helped with overall smoothness of the engine. it idles a lot steadier, runs smoother, and the throttle response is a lot chrisper :)

Sweet Eric that means now I gotta get me one, if it does all that...Later Mike

well....

it SEEMS to do all that. but it may just be in my head :lol:

lookin pretty good eric, I love the valve covers...maybe thats because ive got the same ones

Which carb are you running? Maybe this is why my 1406 is giving my trouble?

Thanks
Paul

its the 1806??? forgot the model number. but its the 650cfm avs carb
