Looks like a nice swap!
any reason why you didn't degrease and wash the engine bay when motor was out? seems like such a nice/new motor going in you could of made it a little nicer looking and easier to work on. idk stuff like that just bugs me when its so simple/easy.. nice beater truck then pop the hood and bam nice clean engine bay w/ new motor lol.

Well, runs and drives great, need to get the exhaust on, otherwise, has a stumble off idle on a heavy stab, fuel pressure it at 8 pounds, the lowest the regulator will allow, so i fear that the mallory regulator might be receiving a bit more than it can handle.

The air cleaner is painted gunmetal like the valley, valve covers and oil pan. It was a freebie from a friend and had rust on it, so i hit it with steel wool and scotch brite, then painted it.

Well, i will be going to pick the truck up here in a bit, then i can tune the carb. I have a primary 70 jet, 28 squirter and 30cc acc pump, and there is a nasty dead spot when stabbing the throttle or rolling into it heavy while cruising, so the tuning begins. I am wondering if drilling out the air bleeds will help the primarys start getting fuel faster.
