My 1979! Been working on her 3 years and she still isn't finished. The most high maintenance woman in my life. Hope you like. Still missing the turbo though.

For all of you who have engines that actually start and run, award yourselves double points -- I'm probably 6 months away .

Is that a Engine Torque Brace installed on the Intake?
Never seen that Style before.
I have the RB one and it really makes a difference.

Yeah it's a home made one. I used to get pretty bad shudder with the brass button clutch and the brace made a big difference.

I still havent cleaned mine since I got it. Found siting in the back of a dealer for 3 yrs got from trade in form original owner. It is daily driven so I will wate till I get it out of the daily stage to rip the motor out and clean evrything. Simple mods done to inhance simple things or because something needed replacing so I upgraded it.



Dont mind the efan setup That was just a temp shroud I made. It uses the stock shroud with a custom plating inside seald with a 14in 27000cfm efan and one 10in fan on front on AC condensor switched from AC.

Good to see you're making progress on your car openshot. Fwiw, you don't need the extra fuel filter on the return line. (the forward one). It could affect the fuel pressure in your carb and cause problems.

It probably cancels out the problems from having a filter in the pressure line, which is a big no-no for a carbed setup unless the filter is before the regulator.
