Re: PO has me PO'd
Looking good Jim. Stud idea on seat mounting is great. Makes installing carpeting a lot easier if you are going that route.

That's not a good excuse Jim. Those of us without skills need our regular dose of progress.
J/K. Enjoy your off season. |

Re: PO has me PO'd
I got rid of my TPI setup and went with a Holley Sniper. I like it.
Might be an option for you? Looks like someone was a little rough on that heater hose nipple... |

Re: PO has me PO'd
I was looking for the cool factor, but you're right , there maybe better systems out there!
Note the red arrow, cracked intake manifold. That's what happens when you use a tapered easy out, I was able to get a hacksaw blade in there to cut some of the threads and roll back the fitting with a punch. Hopefully I can have it tigged Just one of my SNAFUs. on to the shaft bushings for the quadra jet

I seen the crack before the arrow. Hopefully it is a simple weld and good to go.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Installing throttle shaft bushings, grind the staked screws or you WILL snap the heads off. mark blades for location and direction
