[QUOTE="Bug, post: 152059, member: 3940"] Gotta love the weekends! I pulled the manifold off again and started trying to smooth out the top surface. That's when I saw the big hole along one of the runner joints. :shock: I don't know how I missed it before. I soldered it up nice and checked the others for any more missed holes. I got real lazy then and JB welded the two spacer plates to the top of the plenum... :whistling: no more air leaks there, we'll see how long it lasts. I started working on a new throttle link and this is what I came up with. [GALLERY=media, 26689][/GALLERY] I think the pull might be a little too long now. Maybe a little more twist to the cable mount braket to align it better. It's definitely an improvement over my first try. [GALLERY=media, 26690][/GALLERY] [GALLERY=media, 26691][/GALLERY] I like how it opens it up the space above the engine [GALLERY=media, 26693][/GALLERY] And a bit further out pic. I think it fits the theme nicely! [GALLERY=media, 26692][/GALLERY] So plenum heat and proper head mounts are still left to do. :builder: I took it for a spin and I'm not sure about it yet. I need to work on the idle, but I think the plenum heater will help with it. It'll idle around 1200 when left alone for a bit, but when I come to a stop, it wants to sit around 2300 for a bit. I think it's burning gas that has collected in the bottom of the plenum. My first impression with the acceleration is quite nice. Very smooth through the range and the throttle is soft. I didn't feel like it had a ton of power, but when I look down at the speedometer, I'm surprised by how fast I got to going so fast! It's just so smooth and the throttle is so soft. I think I might add a spring to give me some resistance and make me feel like I'm working a bit to go fast. [/QUOTE]
