Thanks guys, I’ve been building on it little over a year here and there as time permits lol. I run flatbed over the road down to Laredo and back to Birmingham/ kinda burned myself out on it a little but not giving up! Been fighting a super rich at idle problem finally ran it down today. My brodix intake doesn’t have a slope built into it is it had my carb tilted back and was pulling way too much fuel into the bowls. Got a wedge spacer order and hopefully that’ll get it took care of

Thanks everyone, haven’t been able to mess with it much as I’ve been gone on the truck. But I did get a chance to start installing the rear QA1 coil over well one side anyways lol
