Hey Craig, make sure you separate them properly!
And dont let them get caught in the linkages after full throttle, like I did on the dyno!

That would've been fun!

Been spending some time on them to avoid just that.

Thought I'd start to tackle my fuel system to get away from the leads. Professional Products regulator and Autometer fuel pressure gauge which will be attached with s/steel braided fuel line.

Appreciate your comments!

Not much has happened over the past few weeks as I've been away on business.

Have got my fuel line & Pro flow fuel filter mounted above the gearbox. Got my braided lines for the webers half done just have to measure and get the fittings put on.
