73' B3 340 Duster pro touring build
Slight change of plans, after doing some research I decided to go with nylon braided Black hose instead of hard line. Tomorrow I will modify the fuel rails drawing the regulator and crossover line 1.5" closer to the throttle bodies. While I was at Summit Racing I decided to pick up one of the Air Cleaners I've been wanting to try and test fit.....as you can see I will have to add almost 1" to the carb neck to make the throttle linkage work (unless I cut down the Throttle Body arm) also theres an issue with the Distributor cap towers hitting, I'll have to see if they make that style cap with a female socket. If I keep the Air Cleaner it will get the same treatment as the Valve covers, which includes Milling off the fins, removing the Black Powder coating and polishing it, I think it would matche up pretty close to the Valve covers plus I like the hidden hold downs....nice. Tomorrow I'll also weld on the Ball and socket style collectors and drop them off at New Image coating in Youngstown (10 minutes from the Base) and have them Ceramic coated.
