yeah i went to a local hose shop, told them the length the angle of the fittings and the timing of the fittings and he was like one moment, came back with it in like 5 mins and said 20 bucks, i was like SAWEEET!!!

my turbo drain hose isint gonna be much cheaper and its only like 5 inches if that
its the fittings what cost, i think the hose itself he said was like 60 cents a foot or something

oh DF

Starting it, yes, - driving it - No. At least put the downpipe on if you want to take it around the block.

I recently re-did my downpipe since my old one was crushed at the track, and I test fired the engine without it on. Alot of smoke and smell.

Reason I was asking was if you had a extra dizzy around I might be able to help you out. I'm not to your stage of the game but I have this one sitting in a drawer waiting to be used. I still have to get the carb running smooth before I bolt on my turbo.

The thread I posted it in.

fix the dizzy up yourself, dissconnect the vacum advance and pull out the springs. then set the timing, that will be the same at any idle.

you have to weld the centrifugal advance, you can't just remove the springs. That being said, it still isn't that tough, just tac the weights in the fully advanced position so if the weld breaks the ignition will retard itself. There is a thread somewhere around here that shows you exactly how to do it.
