So you just orderd mounts, clutch masters and fuel rail fitting from hinson? I wanted to get all clutch hyrdo stuff from them 2. I see that all the other parts summit will probably be my friend but i want all the real custom stuff to be ordered together from hinson.

On the fuel rail fitting- you can get a pair of rails with AN fittings and have a traditional return style setup. You can usually find these rails for around $125 for sale used @ ls1tech.com

I think Owen said he saw a barbed fuel rail fitting for $15 or something at Napa. I'd definitely go for that instead of the $40 fitting.

Great to see your car on here too Owen(this is rochesterricer from H-T and RM).

Last time I saw, I think you had a couple small issues left to work out. Have you managed to get to them yet?

the car was on the road for a month or so, I love it so much, it seriously hauls ass.

now I've got a clutch problem, I think the new master needs to be adjusted, where the rod threads onto the pedal assembly... or it needs to be re-bled. it seemed the pedal engagement point was farther to the floor the last week I drove it, then after it sat for a week while we had snow, I tried to move it and it wont shift while the engine is running... clutch/hydraulic issue. so, hopefully I didnt fuck anything up like the slave or a release bearing thing-a-majig. I should really drop the tranny before the springtime in order to fix the 3rd gear problem so this isnt a big issue just yet... especially with snow on the ground right now.

the other things to work on are:
cleaning up the wiring, mostly in the cabin
rolling the fenders to fit some larger tires... 245's and 275's :)
possibly buying longtube headers
shrouding the radiator so it works well in the summertime
alignment with a cornerweight
