Thanks guys

Jay in one of the pics you will see a piece of wood with black marker on it . i made a template when i took the assembly out . so when I rebuilt it i alligned the runners to fit in the template, and got down real low to see if they were flat. This got me VERY close.
The two runners for 1 and 4 you can leave loose at the rubber sleeve and they will self align. you can tighten them after. the other 4 if you get close you will be fine, the rubber has some give but the closer you can get the better obviously.

Yeah Steve I have to get the mixture set but i imagine it is VERY close. It starts and idles beautifully.

The best part of the whole project was putting on the copper nuts i got for the intake .. they look great .. oh well I guess i am superficial...lol

as I said if any of you want any high res pics for projects or trouble shooting shoot me your email . I have tonnes of pics not even shown here ..

again thanks greatly to Pete and John for their help with this project .. PS i am such a poseur ,, take me helmet to the track and just watch ....

I'm glad to see that you are back on the road. Isn't there an easier way to clean your engine?

Clive,

What's that big plastic cover thing beside your driver's side bumperette on your bumper guard?

it is an bumper plug, Take it off and there is a whole you fasten the eyelet from the tool kit thriugh to the frame. you can use it to fasten the car down or pull it on to a flat bed I imagine.
