Where did you find those fuel line adapters? Those would have saved me some hassle a few times.

I have a Crown Vic engine in my truck, had the same thing going on with the heater hoses except one went straight down into the intake on the front through the coolant temp sensor nipple and the other had that ridiculous metal mess under the intake. I eliminated that part and just ran it straight to the water pump.
Russell and I believe Holley carries them, and possibly Earls.

Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.

Those 4 in 1 guages are super handy and save some money but they just seem super busy. Like, it would need more than just a quick glance to know what's going on.

Never seen one in person though, mabey that makes all the difference.

What makes these gauges pretty cool is the speedo is gps.no cables.the digital display on speedo can show u 0-60 times, 1/4 mile times,it also shows digital speed,and it also has a compass built right into it. Don't c many companies do gauges like this.and u can customize it any way u want to pics on it to changing needle size and color as well as display colors.very nice pieces
