As Bill Murray would say... "It's in the hole!".
Now that really looks sweat. Beautiful job on the engine bay too.
Will be great to hear a "first drive" report.

Thanks, I'm hoping to have it running by the end of the month. I'm putting on the RetroTek EFI, an Electric fan, and an MSD-6AL box, so I have a lot of wiring to do.
