Re: Starting the beast. Any tips i should know?
i see you have the air lines from the Viairs running through the frame right toward the muffler..
just make sure you have at least six inches i would say.. i have melted quite a few airlines myself from being too close to exhaust.. im sure you have already taken that into consideration though.

Re: Starting the beast. Any tips i should know?
We have ignition,we have fuel, we have start.We have fire... uhh ohhh.... fire!!!!!!!!
Glad there wasn't much damage,it's always scary starting a new one.Little glitches like you had aren't uncommon.Glad you're dealing with it well.

Re: Starting the beast. Any tips i should know?
ok i see what your saying..
running it through the crossmember is definitely alot better. although i cant say they wont melt, time will tell though, but i would think they would be okay

Re: Starting the beast. Any tips i should know?
its good up to 180 i believe. THe crossmember exterior was 100 degrees... So i dont think it will be an issue.

Re: Starting the beast. Any tips i should know?
you can adjust your total timing. That will get you close and you can still have higher revs.

so take the timing light, and use the degree advance button. Im pretty sure i know what that is. Aim it at the crank and with it set at say 30 degrees it should read right on the crank correct? |

Re: Starting the beast. Any tips i should know?
LMAO...I do love my hubcaps thats for sure. I also love the wheels from when I was a kid getting into cars and trucks too. These chrome daisys might look cool on a future ride.
