Very nice clean set up, on a cherry frame! I like your engine colors too.

All right guys, picked it up today, it's rougher than we thought from the pics, at least looks rougher. so not going to be two days to running like we though, plus the friend who's place my uncle uses decided today to become an asshole. so now rearranging hotrods, shop stuff etc.

anyways, STovens, this is same model carb you have. not sure if we'll stick with it in the end, but for now going to get the car running with this one on it. we'll see later.

buflowd, I agree, looks great. what are those fittings you used on the pipe? they don't look like regular inverted flare fittings. look like some high dollar an fittings (all an fittings I think are high dollar, bastards ).

tomorrow I'll post some pics I took today with my camera phone and give a broad stroke picture on the project, show you guys what I have to deal with. Still a good deal I think (Hell, centerlines and m/t all the way around is a couple k, and how much is a currie 9" with gears, 4 link and disc brakes?)

I appreciate the help guys. We did decide today, driving to get the car, to go hard lines to the carb from the fuel pump. my uncle's friend who is a mechanic was with us and said that's how he does it and has a real nice bender for 3/8" tube so....

Do you guys get this tool over there as its what i use to bend 3/8" tube, aluminium bends easily by hand but if i'm doing stainless i put 1 of the handles in the vice. you can also use an old alternator pulley.

They are 37 degree AN fittings, tube and sleeve. I used the same type of bender that Roadster shows. ---- Bob
