It's in, and it works nicely, the lighting level on the gauge is good and consistent with the others, I calibrated the gas gauge and pushed the needle on.
And the Bosch/Guide E-code H4 4703-replacement low beams (

The Bosch/Guide headlamps were what GM had to use to be able to sell vehicles with the 150mm headlights outside the US, where US-spec sealed beams are justifiably regarded as dangerously bad junk.
And the Vortec heads and 900cfm bored-and-sleeved TBI and the cam and so on, more tuning to be done but it's driveable.
Happy, happy, happy, or at least I will be when I get the bigger fuel pump in there so I can risk WOT. Guess I'm stuck with the thing a few more years.
Now if I could just find a good price on an uncracked blue dash pad...and Western Chassis 2.5in front drop spindles, and a little air for the rear suspension, and there's all the rear-disc hardware on the shelf waiting to go in.
Why do I get myself into these things?
