Everyone,
Thank you for the compliments. They make me feel all fuzzy inside
This was a lot of work and fun at the same time. I learned a lot about what to do and not to do. Thank's again for the kind words.
I will now ansewer questions.
Timing: The distributor is stock, not locked. Leading is @ 10 deg BTC and trailing is @ 2deg BTC @ 6000rpm. Now at idle the lead timing is down around 0 deg.
Fuel delivery: The regulator I am using is an Aeromotive rising rate, part #13301. I paid $110 through Jegs. The fuel pump is the Aeromotive Street Rod, part #11203. I paid $160, Jegs also. The pump provides 180gph free flow, 125gph @ 8psi, and 80gph @ 18psi.
Flywheel and clutch: Both stock w/ unknown mileage. Clutch does not slip, though it does protest the hard shift into second gear now.
Horsepower: unkown my guess is 150-160 @ the rear. There is a local dyno day on the 5th of October, and I will have pictures of the sheet for you guys to see.
Motor: Not ported, currently pushing the 180,000 mile marker.
Boost: I just replaced the baseplate for the bonnet(still leaks) and I have the boost controler set to 5psi. I am honestly scared to go any higher due to the age/milage of the motor combined with the fact that this is my daily driver. Once a new daily driver is accuired, I have every intention of pushing this motor to the breaking point A sacrafice in the name of R&D.....
I will now take more questions.....

great write-up!
this whole project's success is a credit to you, and i think it's the perfect thing to show that DOLLARS, though they buy nice things, they are not EVERYTHING when it comes to modding your car.
the questions i have, have mostly been covered and answered. the only one i have left is if the exhaust manifold posed any problem with the steering arm. i read that there was a slight clearance problems with T2 swaps, but in the picture you provided, there seems to be plenty of space. did you have to create clearance?
again, great job!

hate to drag a thread from the dead but this one is worth it
I too am thinking about running this route soon since I have a friend with a t-II mani and turbo that he would sell me cheap. I could not find the bonnet on the above mentioned website and also was wondering if it would also be effective for a webber 45dcoe which is what I have. any other sources for bonnets would be much appreciated.

hehe, yeah it was either spend $89 on a bead roller or spend $3 and 45min with a welder and angle grinder Needless to say now I have $86 to spend on other areas of my car 
But you get a pretty damn sore hand after a few beads!

Why doesn't something like this get stickied. There are so many questions about forced induction setups on the sight. I would be great to have a sticky to cover the carb. side of the topic verses F.I. with the TII swap sticky.
