Fuel lines are rerouted to the fuel rail.   Any use for a used corvette style filter with built in regulator and associated push tab hoses??

Made a new throttle cable, and relocated the battery to the hatch.

4 point Kirk roll bar is in....what a pain in the ass. Bolt in..well kind of. Had to use a scissor jack to push the passager side bar over to be ove the wheel well where it bolts in. Had to bend the backup plates in two directions and then elongate the holes so the bolts would line up.

Made a aluminum adjustable clutch master bracket to help elimnate the firwall flex from engaging the heavier ACT clutch.   It moved at least 1/4"

I think I finally have all the wiring done-seems like ther is always one more wire to run 8) WB is hooked up and the logger says the computers is alive.

Just need to change a few brake lines out that were leaking.

I had to extend the front housing 1/2" for the TOB to ride on, welded on an extension and dropped it off this morning for machining and then I can throw everything back together.

She MOVED tonight for the first time. Drove around the block a couple of times with open exhast and no hood. RED NECK heaven!

Few leaks and the brake are soft but she ran and started on the first try.

Going to go register and plate it this week!

Brake are still softer than I like, bled them twice.   Wonder if the brake master is going bad, or not getting enough vacume??

Bolted the seats down and took another trip...got her in some boost and she wants to move.

I need a speedometer cable....andone got one?

Well according to the FSM, the master and booster are working properly.   I got 18 in of vacumn at idle which should be enough.  2 fittings still have a little seep.  Which I can't beleive since a redid them with factory flares, not my double flare jobs.  8)   I might just convert them to AN fittings.
