Re: You gotta start somewhere...
Looks nice!

One thing I will caution you on is that Edelbrock "Pro-flo" air cleaner., One back fire through the carb with a decent flame up through there and it will catch that foam insert on fire.

Ask me how I know... I almost lost a 1971 CJ-5 to fire because of that exact thing.

Thanks for the heads up, Gary. I was planning on replacing that anyway. I actually bought it because it was cheap and I needed to keep the dirt out on the drive home
