Nice, hopefully you fire on all 8 cylinders the next time you try and start it up, lol. Looks like you've got it all worked out though.

Beautiful work...great looking build. There's a good sense of satisfaction when you do it yourself.

Interesting thread.

Your build is looking good.

I have a couple of friends in Michigan, one is in Port Huron and the other in Howell. No emissions in Michigan.

I take it you once lived in California and moved to Michigan.
