finished up the oil filter feed line.
mounted the carb and started working on the routing of the fuel lines. i had some left over braided fuel line and i thought it looked nice. i'm going to relocate the fuel filter to before the fuel pump and on the frame rail.
had issues with the choke tube mount on the exhaust manifold. whoever drilled the hole drilled it a wee bit too big and when i would go to tighten the choke tuve in it would just spin and i could take it out just by rocking it back and forth.
so i thought and that and tried several unsuccesful tries to make it work and just decided to drill the hole bigger and fit in an adapter i had laying around. it was a brass connector for a temp gauge sender. i drilled it to fit the choke tube end and then drilled and tapped the exhaust manifold to accept the brass adapter. it still had some issue grapping as there were not many threads afforded in the manifold. but i got it finally and i dont think it will go anwywhere.....hopefully....if not....i'm taking the manifold back off and welding the hole shut and rethinking the whole chock setup. you can barely see what i did in the picture. yes i did suck all of the metal shavings out of the exaust manifold. i used that braided fuel line hooked to my vacuum cleaner and sucked it all out.
sorry the pic is dark
can anyone tell me how the vacuum lines were hooked up on the top of the fuel pump. i have a fitting for the intake manifold and figured it got vacuum from there and then the other side leads to the inside of the car for the wipers. near one of the ports for the vacuum side of the fuel pump it says IN....but i'm not sure if that is indicating the fuel side or not.
