Oh btw, looks killer, lets see some pics of it with the air cleaner on and hear some audio clips.

It from SMI its fully calibrated for my application too.
I only have the stock air cleaner, finding one that isn't chrome is almost as hard as finding a not chrome timing cover!
Audio clips to follow soon!

How's it run? Looks good

The vacuum lines are going to the charcoal canister. I’m on the fence if I want to keep it or not.
Runs great had a little issue with it not wanting to idle, turned out to be a vacuum leak.

Yeah, the canister must go.

It should go without saying though, that's it's your truck, do as you please

I forgot to post a picture of my engine mounted oil pressure gauge.
The tech guys at Auto Meter said even their oil filled gauges don’t last too well on the engine. So I opted for this location with a new SW gauge a neighbor gave me. I bought the gauge pot at the local shop.




Whatever paint they use at the radiator shop is tacky when warm, that's paper towel that stuck near the cap!



Headlight relays from M&H.



Old school air cleaner. Now does it look stock?

Just currious, in one of your pics it looks like the plug wires are not connected to plugs? I'm lookin because I am fiddlin with the repro plug heat shields that don't seem right for me.

That is correct! I should have picked a better picture!
I pulled them to inspect & was thinking of re-indexing my dizzy.
