Looks good buddy... Wink....How was the "Party"..?..Sorry I couldn't make it... I was wrapped up in truck repairs ..... Shocked...!!!
Thanks Randy, No prob, you got e-mail. Below are pics of the install today. Could not fire it up cause I need to get a plug for O2 senser hole. One problem, #4 flange does not sit real flat and has a very so slight gap. Will talk to Tiger on Monday, the last pic you might see the gap. After I start it I'll know for sure. Anyway, below are some pics of the sidewinder installed.

Ted if you have an extra bypass relief valve cap for stock case, you can use that for a plug.

Hey Jim, that's exactly what I'm going to use. I have an old one I can put in to fire it up, will be going to Bill & Steves tomorrow to pick up the ones that you use an allen wrench on. I use those on my motors, works awesome, multi purpose.  Smiley

did you know you can use a front axle nut from linkpin bug as the bung?  Grin
I tried the stainless plug that came with my NGK AFR sensor... big mistake! Even with anti seize it took an Act of God (and lots of heat and swear words) to get it out of my header after 2 years.

Spark plug might be the same, too?  Yet another method to create confusion.  Run a spare lead out of sight and BOOM, instant head scratching.
