      I'm sure you know what you'd be getting into there, but DAMN! I'd think a totally disguised EFI would be better. No accel. pump or cruise leaning, DAMN!

      Mechanical injection I mean. You can DO blower carbs.

          So are you confident it will make the start line on Sept 9, ten weeks away?

                Jim, I've said it before and I'll say it again...I am in total awe (and envy) of your skill.

                The rest of you guys suggesting EFI...you should be ashamed! You act as if you don't know Jim at all!

                  I for one know Jim is quite talented! I was just making a comment as to the idea that maybe he could try this and show all of us how it's done!

                    I suspect if anyone would show us how it's done, Jims your guy....but selling him on automotive technology beyond 1970 might be tough....Like selling ice to an Eskimo.

                      EFI is like Viagra - it only helps dis-functional people!

                        I've been watching on fb and as with your other rides, I totally dig the heavily authentic angle you always strive for.This project is shaping up in a cool fashion.

                          thanks!

                          I got the headers tacked together, starting on the firewall "flange" on the body.
