Ok, here ya go...Got some pics now. Check em out. Let me know what you think. I plan on removing all the emissions for that "clean" look soon, but getting it back onthe road first is my main goal. I have a set of new radiator shouds I will be putting in that are freshly painted black so that they will add some more to the "clean" engine bay look Im going for. How do you think its looking so far?

Future plans:

1. Split loom all wires
2. Remove emissions
3. Yellow silocone vacuum lines for whats left after removing emissions
4. Stainless Steel braided fuel lines/radiator/misc hoses
5. degreasing and cleaning
6. RB Holley setup . (or another aftermarket carb setup)

After stripping the emissions, you'll end up with like 2 vacuum lines. One for vacuum advance on the carb and one for venting, iirc. I had that setup and it was veddy clean.

Yeah, I just want to do whats left in yellow. I may even do all the emissions stuff until I get the aftermarket carb. As you can see in the pics, I already have full RB exhaust, I just cant drive the car till I get tires now . Oh well. Im patiently waiting . Plus another plan I have is MSD direct fire, and some other stuff I cant think of right now...

Maybe a battery too?

Looking good, I like the alternator upgrade and the wires. I would sugest adding an early style air-to-oil cooler conversion to your list.

Got a battery for it, Optima Red Top .

Thats the other thing I was thinking of FD Racer. Im gonna be adding an air oil cooler to the engine soon.

Plus, about that alternator...It was the one that came with the engine, I dont know if its the right one or not actually. I tried to put one from an 84 on it (cause it had a fan), but the belts wouldnt line up. The alternator was sitting all tipping backwards and stuff . Anyway, thanks for the nice comments, and you're welcome Manntis .

Im worried mine will too . I havent ran the car using the fan to keep it cool yet, so I dont know how well it will actually work...Oh well. It came with the car, so Im not out any money on it. I plan on saving up for that Black Magic fan as soon as I can. I think the Black Magic looks better anyway .
