Default getting closer everyday

i am about a week away from firing up, finally got it back on all 4 wheels so i could move it to my other bay, im to old to lay on my back anymore, much easier using the lift-should get my headers and intercooler pipes back tomorrow from the coaters
running my bat cables and fuel lines today, then shoot my front fenders later with one more coat of primer, paint them wed.
i am gonna fire it w/o the front end on, just in case-you never know, lol

i normally use kevins at csu, but to fire up i am using this demon BT that i ran for a while on my procharged 489 b/b, (which i changed to a csu)
i know the carb, so its a temp patch untill i order one from csu, its just on the lean side and the afr's jump around, but it's ok for a while

Yeah Kevin is running 6-7 weeks behind right now, but mines on order. Would you mind showing me your timing chart after you get it worked out? Ill be using the msd box as well and I'd like to see how you are going to retard the timing. The msd timing map is on weird axis
