I've spent little time inside V8's in the last twenty years so writing those numbers down was a lot quicker than redoing a plug wire. The way it's been going Murphy would have bit and I would have cut my last long wire short.

Most of my motor tinkering time has been on single and v-twin KTM's and Ducati's.

Screw EFI..........I've got a Vortec Generator now.

DO YOU KNOW THEIR FIRING ORDER, IS IT 1-2 OR 2-1 ???

Dang velocity stacks are old school! I like it.

Well I inched closer until I found the carb secondary pump wouldn't clear the PCV fitting without a spacer. Went to the local parts store right before they closed to pick up a 1/2" spacer.........they didn't have one so I cleaned up and installed the 1" spacer off the old set-up and found it created a throttle linkage bind that is hold the primaries slightly open. Hopefully I can find a 1/2" spacer some where tomorrow.

Rob - It's camera angle and once the inner fender is in place where the filter mounts it has all kinds of room.

Thanks for looking out for me!

That thing is looking too clean to BBQ again. I know you are excited about getting her fired up, and burning your candle at both ends to get it done. I'd just hate to see you make a mistake on the home stretch.

Good luck on that spacer, if you were across town I'd bring one over. I'll be looking for some video of it running tomorrow night.

Damn! You're real nice for a Ford guy!

Thanks Buddy it's very much appreciated.

My excitement is somewhat minuscule considering your project.

Any time you cross the goal line feels good.......even if your losing.

Personally I'd use a full flow SWIVEL end where that tight 90 is....

Like this....

it swivels to allow the hose to be placed where it wants to go... but more importantly it's not causing the fuel to make that tight 90... fuel no likey to do dat!
