last manifold just went all wrong the person who welded the manifold up got the pipes that were bent at the wrong angle so had to start again.........god daaaam
just hit a few issues when seeing how much room i have to play with and ive got to lower the altenator if i want the carbs at the right angle so the floats are level and then need to figure out a vaccum for the brake servo sooooooooooo see what bulbs light up tomorrow while scratching ye olde head
