this is how i fixed my kickdown cable, i made my own bracket. it fits tight and should work great. the cable moves just as it should

Looks good to me!

looks good, except one thing... is your MSD mounted to the lower part of your inner fender? if so, BAD IDEA, i hear they hate heat.

my dad and i both think that the air cleaner is way to dinky and small, we're gonna send it back and get a different one

Get one of these http://store.summitracing.com/
SUM-239432
$39.95 kinda hard to beat, that's what I am using however I wish I had gone with a 4 or 5" element

i was thinking about getting a 4" k&n cleaner+lid assembly. i want to find a nice drop base that will fit. i hate having the air cleaner right on top of the carb, i want it to cover it up a little.

Is that a socket I see on the right hand front valve cover bolt?

Get the biggest air cleaner possible. Nice engine, we need a drooling smilie.

if i get a good drop base that will fit with my carb, i can run a 5"

if its a flat base a 5" filter will hit the hood when its closed.

no it won't. thats what i have and my intake is taller than yours as well, and i still have plenty of clearence. i wouldn't get the 5 again if i could do it over though. it just looks to big and goofy for me. i would go with a 3 or 4

I agree and they hate water too and in that spot it will get soaked when it gets wet out.

You need to mount it up on the fire wall where you put the MSD stickers and put the stickers on the inner fender well

how much is "plenty of clearence"???

i put my dads 5" k&n filter with a flat base and i'm not sure, but i think it came out with a dent in the top that wasnt there before:p
