Thanks Dave!

hahaha, no Miles, that still isn't done. I plan to get a taller filter element to combat the problem instead. Least of my problems.

Great progress Josiah!


Now for a rack of three Weber's with velocity stacks.
THAT makes sense pointing sideways...

The last picture is a cell phone picture, but it shows the correction made with the plug wires. The wires in the first pictures were connected in order, incorrectly. I didn't notice how they had been placed, and we couldn't figure out why it wasn't starting. Fixed the wires, and it fired right up.

I don't think I put this up here yet:
Got a video of my truck's first run after pulling it apart and adding all the bolt-on fun stuff. Hopefully it works! You may want to turn the volume down first.
