You using that copper-nickle stuff for the hard line?
All braided stainless -6

How do the end of your fingers feel?
Those little ends of the stainless always manage to end up in the ends of my fingers no matter how careful I am.
I switched to the cloth braided viton. I'll never go back to stainless braid. It's so much easier to install the ends, no blood and they don't chaff on other stuff as bad. Pressure ratings were comparable

Interesting, might have to have to look into that. How is the price comparison? Do they have color/style options?
Fwiw, I use a tiny screwdriver and tape the ends before I cut them
If I did it again I’d probably go the route @SpeedlabDan said
I don't understand, won't the vise get in the way when you drive?
The way I drive, no
Looks good. Nice work.
the carb.Which part?
The efi or the carb
Pretty sure the epoxy on the float plugs went south and the needle isn’t seating 100%
I didn’t even look
Don’t let that braid rub on ANYTHING. It’s like a saw. Ask me how I know! I’m already worried about that airline.

Gonna tie it up better, but will keep an eye on it.
Good news is it's the rear. Truck works pretty well with the doubler and the rear axle open
lots of guys mounting the ecm on firewall under hood i have seen on forums in my searching . if you dont wish to put it in the cab .
I did pull it in to put it in the TBI confuser location above the glove box
Two things I really like about the ECM set up is the cam over style lock so it should stay dry if under hood
And it's not mounted to the engine
(and plenty of wire to move it)
