It turns out that the copper crush washers on the jet plug bolts are a one time use item. But they can be reused multiple times if you anneal them. However they do get flatter the more times you use them, so if they're pretty flat by the time tuning is done, I just swap in a fresh set (annealed of course because the punching process does work-harden them) and they always seal up perfectly. And if I ever need to do any tuning in the future, they are fresh enough that they can survive several more tuning sessions if need be before requiring replacement again.

ok carby is done. fuel pressure gauge became permanent... and i took out two of the 45 degree bends by moving one of the ports to be 90 out instead of 180 out... bingo! tho i may mod small things stil. the fpr side has evolved to final form.

i can quite easily pick the carb up and carry it around by the FPR so the lines are stiff and solid.. there will be no extra mount, the lines to the job just fine.

Think it'll be loud? I have a Blitz Supersound (not installed) and it is quite loud.

I have a junkyard MX6 turbo BOV. I was gonna recirculate but I kinda like the turkey sound.

I gotta get on that direct fire thing. Just been to busy to figure it out/do it.

I Put my gauges on a thin bracket that bolts in two places... keep it removable and doesnt send any screws into plastic like an 18 year kid would do to the dash.
