On the road again

So far , so good.My son made it to work and back last night without incident.The old truck runs better than before the build but I think the timing could stand a little adjustment.It's not overheating and hopefully we have the exhaust leaks stopped.The test I would like for it is another Grand Marquis on the trailer to compare before and after.

The quick spin I made in it seen about 20psi boost.He just got the gauges yesterday so we need to get them in it so we can see EGT's.Where should we put the probe for the EGT?
