    looks fan-damn-tastic! I love the old Autolite 4bbl "Holley-Wannabe" carb,and those clear plug wires are the coolest. Are they the kind that light up at night? Not that goofy "neon"***** but just kind of a flash? I seem to think I saw them on stuff as a little kid.

    You can get clear plug wire from a hamber-
    Mike @ the Hot Rod Company.

    hes got a few 300ft. rolls... Joel R and I bought some from him at BTTF's car show- I was so stoked to finally FIND some.
