New engine is in, pumped for oilpressure. Made all new oil, gas and breather lines, re-wired the alt and rear lights, twin oilcoolers and fans are ready, brackets for Kaefer-bar are done. Now working on lambda wiring, plug cables and CSP linkage.
New front fenders and modified decklid are off to the painter, and i have to install aluminum door panels done by Cedric.
That's about it.
Do you have pic's of your car Hurry or did I miss them?  Yeah come on Harry show the pictures... How your doing buddy. Hey Ed ! Whats happening Buddy ? Post some pics of your car with the wheels ! Maybe i will post some pics if the car is pic/post worthy. Take care Dude. |

I just finished the installation of my new Alternator with the cute little boots. Finally got my updated Berg linkage installed along with some new air cleaners that I had polished. This kinda gives the engine a new look. Hope you like it.

Took the heater boxes off and had them cleaned up real well, added a fresh coat of paint, checked the valves cuz I hadn't done it since before the drive to Bug-In  (#2 exhaust was a scosh tight, that was it), installed the NOS EMPI hood handle guard (now it looks like my car has a nose), installed the shoulder belt tensioners (maybe I'll actually use them now), dropped a washer down the 3-4 side, retrieved it, and swapped the air jets down from 230 to 185. |

Re-Jetted my carbs as per Jim's specs. Checked float-level once again. Checked basic idle and idle mixture setting.
So tomorrow, the second neighbour-terror for 20 minutes.

All feels good and went well, no weird valve play-s. Engine sounds deafening Changed window rubber for Cal-Rubbers tonite. Car looks hard. |

A couple weeks ago, I put stock torsion bars back in my car and took out all the MSD distributor, coil and digital 6 and replaced them with my trusty 009 and blue coil. Now I'm much happier with the rear ride height and overall ride quality. Plus the 28mm bars and MSD setup will fit nicley on my race car. |

I'm still waiting for paint on front fenders and decklid. Plus i welded up the holes in the drivers door to get rid of that bullet mirror. This weekend i will be changing the rear torsion bars. (Hopefully after jaw surgery)  After that i have to redo the interiour aka fabricate new seat brackets and install aluminum panels made by "Black Hands" aka Cedric. Wire up the lamda and more small stuff. Thanks Guys! |

Hey Donny B,
The new air cleaners are NICE! They really changed the look of the motor. I also like the way you did the linkage mount black. It makes the update kit stand out more and gives greater attention to the crossshaft and heim ends. Nice update!
