Ooo, the smell of 110 oct. fuel !!! I love it. I just used the 110 to break it in on, and will be feeding it a steady diet of 92-93 octane once I start driving it. Yeah, it really rumbles with the exhaust I have on it. The turndowns end about 6" behind the cab. The best thing about this system, it cost less than $100 complete. Well, except the headers which were $200. Rabidranger, I think it is a vacuum canister. For what, I don't know.

I believe it is for the a/c and heater control.
Glad to hear you got you motor going.
I will be firing up my open header 466 tomorrow.
I would prefer to have mufflers, at least till I make sure it isn't making any weird noise. But I know it will sound good. I would have started it tonight, but i don't think my neighbors would have liked that.

Aluminum roller rockers and mild cam

Can't wait till morning

You could always record a short movie with a digital video camera like I did.
