    I love that feeling of firing up a fresh motor. It was like I was there:drink:

    The carb is a 750cfm by Quickfuel. It's what they recommended.

    I see you have the oil pressure line that came with the gauge (plastic). I am sure you plan to change it to braided, if not please do! I fried an engine in high school when that line hit the header and spun a bearing. It looks like you had it set-up temporarily to fire the engine. Braided is a good investment.

    Dunno how I missed this thread.

    Major Grats! It looks like you did your homework. Very nice.

    I think I gave $12.99 for my copper one at Advance Auto after the plastic one burst and sprayed hot oil all over my leg. :) Lucky as soon as I realized what was going on (didn't take long!) I shut it off and coast to the side of the road. Pinched off the line with some vice grips and headed straight for Advance.

    Yes, new metal line for sure. Plastic wouldn't pass tech at the races either.

    Still fighting the trans so I haven't had a chance to see how it feels on the road.
