Well it's in the bay...if I get time later, I'll get the throttle cable hooked up and get the fuel line 'rerouted'. The oil dipstick looks like it will work, but I'll have to make a new bracket for it (the standard long late model one fits...deep six the 'stubby' one).
I also have to get some nuts on the main exhaust flange, and weld up 'pipe' to dump the front dual down to the pavement so I don't burn anything up ....
The 'fun' problem with the whole thing as always is finding the right air cleaner for 'IT'....
According to my 'measuring', I have about 2 1/2" from the airhorn flange to the 'rib' in my hood, that's about 3/8" or so taller than the choke plate when it's open....
If anyone has a part # or recommendation, for an aircleaner that offset, and can fit the bill let me know, tomorrow morning before 66Dart comes over for a 'lashing' I'd like to get my pipe welded up and hit the local speed shop and grab a pietin so I can fire it up, check for clearances and get some tech 'n tune time on it this weekend....(then get my dual exhaust setup...)
WOOHOOO!!!!!

p.s. grinding on the runners by the studs, even on Doc front dual, will help get those pesky nuts on and get a better socket on it when you go to torque the manifold sets down.... I'd probably have been done an hour ago if I hadn't dropped every nut, socket, washer, and extension under the car....
of course this is ideal for when you have a scoop on your car (whoops i said to much
