Followed by before and after pictures of the engine. I dropped about $2000 getting it running right. All new belts, hoses, filters, spark plug wires,converted to electronic ignition, rebuilt radiator, new Edelbrock dual plane intake, small hi torque starter. It ran great BUT had one weak cylinder.

Did you notice any HP increase with the intake manifold? I switched mine hoping for better efficiency. Sure is shiny! Are you going to move the battery elsewhere to clean things up?
