Looking good mark and your bonnet should still miss the carbs (hopefully)
have you had it running yet?
if you can tap the runners to take vacuum gauges it will help setting up the carbs using gauges as opposed to those flow meter things (its a lot quicker and more accurate) thats if you have access to some.
Looks like youll be able to move under power soon thatll be a great feeling.

Not run yet but thats next on the never ending list of things to do! Megajolt and start sorting out the wiring. I will put some points in for vacuum hose if thats the best way to do it. In my work i take pressure readings in ductwork so have digital manometers so maybe i could use those for setting the carbs.

Yes im sure you could use digital manometers you might need to use some form of damper as on the anologue gauges i have with no damping they flutter around alot you can get a similar thing for adjusting air pumps on aquariums if you find you need some
