Oh, one last thing. Does it matter which pin on the fuel level sender goes to each pin on the bulkhead?

Not really, if I remember correctly, I didn't have to change much. I did change over from the returnless and put a fuel pressure regulator in the system to keep it regulated based on boost levels.

Never got it to the track or on a dyno. Been in the garage the last few months cause it won't shift out of first. Think I need to have the 80E rebuilt..... Always something. I have put so much in it now, I am at a crossroads.

Not sure what I am going to do.

Either way RIP to the stock tires no?

Yes, I did. Yeah, timing has been a pain for me, but the main thing that I have had issues with is idle tuning. I have spent hours on it and I have it idling, but with AC, it dies. Still haven't figured that out. I have a RoadRunner PCM that I am going to try to work on it with.

Yes, stock tires spin like crazy. I got as wide as I can go on stock rims, but I need to do something else to get it to hook, but that is later down the line. Gotta get it running first.
