Today I ordered a new oil pipe breather, a Mr. Gasket chrome distributor hold down, and a new gas cap from CHINA BILL. And a fuel pressure regulator off temu.

    My buddy just bought the same regulator with Mr Gasket packaging last week. He paid $57. I almost gagged when he told me.

    IMG_6032.jpeg IMG_6015.jpeg IMG_6017.jpeg IMG_6025.jpeg Well it's all back together, excluding the fuel pressure regulator, should be here soon. All the stuff I ordered from CHINA BILL is taking over a week to get here.

    Man that looks good! Sometimes those adapters really stand out to me but at certain angles your set up really does a good job of blurring together.

    Hope the trip goes well!

    I have just started pouring over this thread and I can tell you right now. This is going to be a classic build. I’m already digging the details, like this shocking headlight mount.
