    Think she will run? I had the computer running with the carburator, Huge difference in the way it ran!! Much much better. Sure, the check engine light came on cause half the Fi was not installed, but wanted to make sure the ignition circuits was working properly. They were, so I installed the rest of the EFI manifold. Fuel pump is ordered, the return line, and main line is installed, just waiting for the pump! I do have to install a switch to shut off the alternator,, it ran the battery down overnight which I figured it would,, I may route the alternator wiring thru the ign switch,, maybe that will shut it off,, Lots of wires to hide still, but, routed where Im wanting them. Thinking of running turnbuckles to the shock towers to replace the stock braces,, the upper plentum would not let me have em on. I thought of running a few spacers inbetween the plentum, and the intake manifold,, but would have to cut a hole in the hood to do so,,, That, and take the chance of a vacuum leak,,,, So far, so good!

    chad, you might go to the gallery and look at the picture of my motor. it isn't an fi motor but those braces might work for what you have in mind. they are available from mpg head in colorado. about $150. they advertise in m&ff. if they look promising let me know and i'll tell you more about them.:)

    Yeah, Im building a spacer that goes inbetween the mount, and the tranny. Just have to get longer bolts to hold it together. Chad
