Hey, White, stupid question: Do your plug wires for 7 and 8 run inside or outside of the dipstick tube?

EDIT: I just thought of something... May not matter/match, since I have GT40-P heads.

On the inside. I modified the tube so it sits out a little further than factory though.

Thanks. It looks like I could have them run either way, and it would work OK.

Not that this is big deal, while using Chrome I can't include smiley in a post selecting from the toolbar without locking up the screen. The screen will phase to a whitish and hang there, however, you can back out it preserving your post most of the time (which was a relief) . But that's all you can do, - back out.

Like I said not a big deal, I haven't tried typing out a smiley in text yet....lets see , -

Yea, you can type them out apparently.

Interesting, mine comes right up, like this. Wonder if it's getting blocked by ABP possibly?

I think you nailed it white, makes sense. Why didn't I think of that lol. Yea when I set up ABP I went for the quick set up and I believe it warned me something like this might happen. That might be why I'm having the other problem as well. Crap, can't believe I didn't put that together

Those Fox VC's are sexy in there, Ohio. They are my VC of choice. Trying to locate some for the new motor that I can get all purdy'd up, and modify for the rocker arms.

BTW, are those 36ers you've got in there for injectors?

Thanks, White. I wish I'd done it years ago. Find a set from a '93, and you may not need to do anything to them. I had my wife crank the car while I listened intently at the filler baffle, and heard nothing. Now that they're torqued down, I need to do the same thing. On a side note, her comment getting out was, "Well, I guess that's the closest I'll ever get to driving this thing."

I have a thread on Corral, "Another Fox Valve Cover Thread," (Trickvert over there) showing the differences and the P/N codes to look for.

The injectors are 42's.

P. S. If you'll be using the thick FelPro gaskets, you'll need 1" bolts.
