Its just a cast elbow. Those are mainly used on carbureted V8s running turbos or superchargers.

I was going to say heater core. That's where he gets his heat while driving the car in the winter.

Looking mighty fine sir.

So I've been getting some parts and been installing them slowly but surely..
It just seems like these last few things are 5 minute jobs that seem to take forever...

Anyhow enjoy the pics...

Enzo - Could you tell us about that primary fuel rail? I have the KG, but it sits VERY close to the intake manifold, and the rail mount is kinf of in the middle...

I also like the accelerator cable mount, look much much better than the steel L shape mount that I made
