Reverse light switch was the last piece of the fire damage it came in today and was replaced tonight. I'm learning that Tremec T56 parts aren't the easiest to find.

Change the clutch return spring since the headers shortened the mounting point distance, this one is just getting the pedal to return to the stop, but I'd like to find one that's 5-10% higher rate.

The factory throttle arm to rod pivot was not the best so I McGyvered it......between the washers is a 1/2" od 3/8" id bronze bushing with inner 3/8-1/4 steel sleeve. Don't let me forget jamb nuts on that throttle rod!

Waiting on Moroso horizontal wire looms and vacuum fittings for the intake so I staged the wires for final fit tonight.

The #5 spark plug to header tube clearance is not good, the plug boot will be resting against the tube, not liking that but unsure of my options at this time. The Autolite plugs are 1/4" shorter than the old NGK's, can't find a spec on the length of "shorty" plugs. How good are those MSD boots?

Hopefully Sunday will be the break in day. I'm plodding along enjoying the journey at this point.

My old Speed Demon was hand delivered tonight with no finger prints as requested......I'll be preserving it with satin clear and mounting it on a stand for the bookshelf as a reminder of the chasing a lost cause scenerio. :D

We've used this type with good success
