Looks like a 45° should work

I might consider a 2 bolt flange to v-band adapter fitting

Accu Form Dash Cap arrived and I'll see how it fits this weekend

Was around $90 shipped

Inrerior now has a dome light bulb and a cover, and it works. Lol

Going to charge the battery and get some fresh fuel and see what happens soon
 
Yes its the plain black unpainted

It's a nice product especially for under $100 shipped

I'm going to take the clamps and weights off the dash cover tonight

The adhesive requires a 7 hour setup time IIRC
 
I'm going to get 5 gallons of 92ish octane gas this coming week and see if I can get it to start and run
 
I will definitely take a video

It will be loud since I removed all the exhaust and am only running thee headers, for now
 
I used some Adams VRT on the rear seats. Amazed how well they cleaned up after two coats , it looks so good

Going to do the front seats tonight

VRT definitely is good stuff
 
Header flange attachment pipes arrive today

I'm excited to install them and hope they are angled correctly for what I need

Going remove the jackstands then off the front end and check the motor oil level

Going to also check the fluid level in the diff

Getting much much closer

Adam's VRT also shined up the interior seats so well
 
Well since I am going to drain the coolant, to hopefully repair one leaky header bolt, I may as well install a new tstat, right? Its been in the there for alteast 5 years

Whats a good temp range 185? 195?
 
Cant stop a slow drip from the lower radiator hose

Going to drain the coolant and replace it

Hope I can find a part number on the hose
 
Motor started this weekend

Need to fix a fuel leak on the fuel pump, one of the fittings maybe
 
New Carter fuel pump installed and no more leaks

Edelbrock and chrome must be junk

Anyways. Any tips or tricks to get the motor running and stay running?

Would really bad timing cause a no start ?

it must be a chrome fuel pump thing, i've had a couple of chrome holley mechanical pumps over the years and they both leaked :BangHead: not used another since the second though.
