stop thinking like a piston owner so transfer the holley red near the fuel tank. buy a real regulator instead of that purolator or mr gasket crap. in addition, your alternator is wired incorrectly. one of those thin wires need to go directly to the 'b' terminal. to make it easier on me, why dont you just drive it down to LA and let me show you how to do it right

man those ******* were not cheap. only place i know that sales them. also took my thermotast housing to the machine shop to get cut and rotated 90 degrees. and welded back so i won't have that kink in my radiator hose. now just waiting for my fuel pressure regulator, and gauge. and yes wacky i also have to move my fuel pump next to the fuel tank. already fix my alt cable, by the way wacky what would be a good fuel psi to run.

so you went to European to get the parts. Provided that you have done the required mods to the carb, its best to have a fuel return line (using the return from an old school Nikki carb, not from a FB/SA) to prevent vapor lock and flooding. 5-6 psi is good

No need for the fuel pressure regulator if running a low pressure performance pump, Adjust the fuel level with max pressure from the pump, Buy NGK B9ES spark plugs for about $3.00 a piece and stay away from the RB catalog. 43mm venturies are way too big for a sp engine. Your car will be a pig in the bottom-mid range, good luck

for street/freeway use, I say 43 is the biggest you go. Smaller venturies will give you low-to-mid but no freeway speed so you cant have both worlds with N/A carb set-up. In addition, since this is a street car, a return will prevent vapor lock which is common on high temp area such as IE/South IE. Spark plug wise, just go to junkyard and get FC plugs since they are freebies. Sand blast it and install it for daily use. Save the expensive and best plugs for the track.
Alex, I got your PM but I'm still working on the rotolla. hope this piece of junk will be out by this weekend. LOLLL
