Some of the most important components of the build are going in now.
Hopefully she’ll be running next week and I’ll see how well the AC works. Looking forward to getting her on the dyno with boost control.

Brand new Holley fuel regulator has a hole in the diaphragm and is leaking fuel directly into the intake through the manifold pressure line. Called Holley to order a new diaphragm and their answer was,”sorry, we don’t sell just the diaphragm, you have to buy a whole new regulator.” 
Roger that, I understand. So Sweet Pea will be getting a brand new fuel pressure regulator but it won’t be a Holley.

Holley products and support are horrible! I've had really good luck with this Mallory. (e85 too) Has true 1/2 inlet/return ports as well. Used 3 of them now. Never had an issue over many years. One on my rx7 is like 6 years old now.

On the bright side, once the new FPR is here, sweet Pea should start and then begins the tuning.
I’m pretty excited.

Hope you don't have problems with the steel wheels and 1/2" studs. There was another Nova on here that was having problems with the studs sheering off.
