I'm running msd but really, I don't think spark scatter will be a problem. Worst case, I'll change it back. It was just a "looks" thing, won't stay if there is an issue but how much spark do you need for 200hp? LOL!!

Are you afraid the alternator might overheat? ;-)

Hmmm...never thought that far ahead, I'm still concerned about only having one battery and was considering running the bigger crank pulley out front instead of the smaller one I did in behind. Thanks for the observation, this will be the 1000's of tiny things I have to redo to make it quicker. Now I'm going to go look at more stocker engine bays to see what else I missed, lol!

All comments welcome as there is stuff I never even thought of, that most would say "well of course you do" but I'm learning.

Interior going back in...still need a front right seat in red......

Also not in the picture but I made an aluminum plate to cover the shifter hole.

Looking at the pictures I see another issue...no radio and no heater controls....dang it!!!
Can you replace radio and heater controls with gauges and lights??

Or, are these "must have" as well?? I guess I'll have to look for that crap, man 1 step ahead and 2 back every time, lol!
