Yesterday was a big day, the engine is broke in and happy!

The final part of the puzzle, a Lokar throttle cable kit, came in and I love it. Much cleaner than bolting to the manifold, looks great, and functions perfectly. Instructions say to trim the sleeve with some diagonal pliers but that’s a horrible suggestion, a cutting wheel is the way to go.

In the future I plan on relating the battery to the bed (once I find a suitable tool box/chest) and fabing up some inner tubs and hiding cables better.

She started up with just a slight tweak of the distributor and ran strong for 20 minutes at 2000-2500 rpm. No leaks, no issues, just crazy loud. The Edelbrock AVS required zero adjustment to boot, she will need to fine tuning soon but that speaks a lot to their ease of use and quality.
