not really but a lil touch of wackyness wont hurt either. Take a look at my old FB. You will notice how the appearance changed with nicer rims

FB with enkei 92 for storage purposes


same FB with weds


panas




too bad, I lost most of my old school pix from JCCS1-2 and 7stock events. I will ask my friend brian to take pix of his 4-door duece rolling on a eps

yes, use one of the bolts on the hood latch or on the cowl cover as you may want to move it elsewhere later on.

heres how i solved my problem. i ignored the stock wires and ran a wire from the yellow green wire on the leading dizzy to the negative on the coil then ran a wire from the positive on the coil to the 12v on the ballest resistor.
It worked and had great spark. i also had spear condensors and put those on to.the points apear to be brand new so i felt them alone

if i was to put a msd box on and 2gen coil can i get rid of the ballest resistor?



after many de flooding sessions it started ran funny for a bit but started running great.i let it run for 30min or so then went to tinker with timmin a bit then the carb pooped started pouring gas out on the hot header.... ohh no i had a fire extinguisher close by. i circled the flap that gas came out what is that for.its kinda stupid i could of had a crispy rx2




fuel pump.




heres the fpr and carb what is the electric box next to my fpr? it was hooked to the trailing coil.is it choke relay?

not sure on a 4door but on a 2door, yo can remove a small panel (held by 2 screws) on the driver side. Slide the holley F/P standing up through that hole (of course, the fuel inlet/outlet are in the bottom) and fabricate a cover/bracket.

Looking good so far, nice hiding place! Are you still running the thermo reactor? do you want to part ways with the original carb?
