Kudos to Larry. I have never seen such attention to detail. Wow! Talk about Blueprinting and Balancing as we used to say!

Broke a stud off in the intake and had to dig it out. It broke two threads below the surface and damaged those two threads. Straighten the threads with a pocket knife. Got two different ez out kits at Lowe’s that worked very well.

When Patsy can go racing in the motor home. I'm hoping we can get the Holley system installed in the car and on the Dyno before we go.
