Powder Coated parts are INSTALLED!!!

ITS DONE!!! FINALLY my gas tank filler grommet showed up and we finished putting the TC together, set the fuel pressure and took her for a spin. Runs great, no leaks, no problems. Oh, and did I mention is looks fantastic??? I'll take some pictures of under the hood tomorrow.

The ported/polished/powder coated parts (intakes and valve cover) look AWESOME.  I got everything installed, started her up and set the fuel pressure (no vacuum leaks or anything!) and she runs great.  The butt-o-meter actually feels like I'm getting more HP per pound of  boost with the ported parts, maybe its just my imagination.

Next up is installing my Tbird logo in the EQ slot, advancing the timing and installing my FP gauge. Just glad to have the other stuff done.
