I got my little 10$ package of wiring in! installed in easily. too cold to go further today. lets see, other than that, when i can get a few free hours I'm almost ready to crank it to see if it has spark.
also, figured out the fuel issue. the automatic (vacuum activated) tank switch was stuck closed. fixed that (looks brand new too; not a speck of corrosion).
waiting on the intakes!
