Nice job on your first build...

I am not a fan of the extra tall air filter, but that is just personal preferance.

What are you putting the motor in BTW?

Can you take a pic of just the heads, so that the color shows better?
I'll host it for you if you send it to me.

It's going in a 85 Mustang LX Notchback. I like carbs...less **** breaks that way..they're cheap and easy to tune. I got pics of the heads when they were red before we repainted them, but it's the same paint. I'm also not using that air cleaner. And that Distribiutor is a Pertronix. Aint some lazy points using crap.
