    Very nice. Why did you cover the tubing with the hose? Any reason? What it the tubing made of?

    Yea it is more ridged. The newer cars use aluminum tubing and I thought you were following along. Looks great so I will do it too, where possible.

    Frank, I noticed your Edelbrock fuel pump. I had one of those and it used to spray oil all over the engine from out of the vent holes in the top. Hope you don't have the same problem.

    Is that zip tie going to hold up sitting on the head like that? Looks like a sweet set up Frank. Like your eye for detail.
