Gates 22682 hose:

Plus a gates 21794 hose

Do a little cutting, splicing, coupling, power clamping, braided sleeving, heat shrinking, and in a few hours I'll let you know how much i fucked up
 
Part one is complete. It fits. For anyone trying to follow along:

I cut 2.5 inches off the short end of PN21794 and 4.125 inches off the long side.

I made the elbow 6.375 inches (measured over the long edge of the curve)

Stuck an Amazon ict billet 1.5" barb coupler fitting in there and it looks like this

Little bit of braided sleeve and you end up with a shiny braided expensive ass hose! Just need to heat shrink the ends, t bolt clamp it on there, and send it

I would of liked to join the activities this weekend but I have a previous engagement. The Enderle Invitational Pull Off in Urbana. One and Done the best pullers in the states. Last event of the year.

They make a kit to move the upper radiator hose for procharger guys.

Only problem is now there's 2 MORE FUCKIN HOSE CLAMPS

What's the problem with those clamps? Quit being trash and put the screw part on the bottom then you just see the clean clamp.

It will never run like that! The only correct firing order is 1,8,4,3,6,5,7,2
 
Setting valves on this turned out to be a festival but we fingered it out. Every video i watched showed EOIC method. After talking to a builder smarter than the average redneck he gave us this bit of advice

Put cylinder 1 on top dead center, set both valves at zero lash plus half turn.

Turn the crank 90 degrees, following firing order set the next set of valves.

Once that was done... Set the timing mark at 16 degrees before TDC

Drop distributor in with rotor pointing at number one spark plug.

Floats were full, so without fuel pump on, i pushed the go button and she lit up.

That mac exhaust sounds killer.

And that throttle has instant response. This thing will have some serious low end grunt to it. Im guessing the dual plane intake, 650 carb, 185cc heads, and the cam with an rpm range of 2200-6200 will be a fun little street car
