Additional grief/bullsh*t.
Changed out the headers to some nice factory vette 2.5" manifolds to simplify stuff. (so I thought)
New manifold, new looms and new wires weren't the total cure.
After only a few miles #6 boot burned through.
On a good note of work up at the shop, I got the overload spring removed and replaced em with a set of zero rates.
Moved the axle rearward 1.5"s and got the wheel/tire centered in the wheel well again.
My wheel-base is now 106"s.
This set of pics show the manifolds, wires and fuel door, both inside and out.
