The fuel system is almost done, I couldnt use the brackets that came with the Walbro pump, they just wouldn't fit in the rear frame rail, so it's zip tied for now.

This is my first attempt at hand bent brake lines.. I think it's going to some practice to get them as nice as I want but for now this will do.

Didn't like old "bell" on the steering shaft, little upgrade and good to go!

Any Pics or updates on the vintage air install? Interested in seeing how you mounted your box and where you routed your lines? Are you going straight through the firewall or you going to pop out more toward the fender and go under the fender (above the inner fender). I am at this point and struggling to make a decision.

I bought the fender kit to run my hoses thru the passenger vent inside the fender. No updates of the install, I'm still looking at options other than drilling holes in my firewall to mount the box.

Here are some pics I found that are similar to my install.

What brand spark plug wires are those? I need to get a set also to fit my headers. A heads up on the AC, leave plenty of slack in your air duct hoses. My center dash hose is just about to fall off because I pulled the hose tight when I measured it and cut it.

Progress is looking great!

They are the cheap omni spark wires from oriellys, about $40.

Thanks for the tip!
