thank you guys!!

well, i'm still working on the engine. getting all of the little details done is very time consuming. especially when there are no real examples to follow.

made the idler pulley for the blower. put some lightening holes in it.

plumbed the down nozzles in the manifold. also made an injector hat spacer. it will put the hat way up into the clean air,

Excellent, Dave.

How are you achieving the nice anodized look on some of your pieces?

I read, someone said something about using permanent markers for this...?

thank you very much, fellas!

ray, yes, i use sharpies as a tint to produce an anodized like finish. i also use some paint i found at pep boys. duplicolor metalcast is the paint. on the mags and fuel filter is used paint this time. be aware if you use a sharpie, i haven't found a clear coat that doesn't attack it.

spent some time tonight wiring the plug wires.
