Thanks Chryco! and thanks for the invaluable advice you have given me over the yrs.,,,,cant wait for the Ricks Stainless fuel tank!  That's going to be the next purchase as I plan on the fuel system upgrade. I will start off with a carburetor. Then eventually a Fast-man EFI,(Richard Nedbal's place),, I have 11.2 to 1 Comp. and E-85 is everywhere here and 105 octane!! I would like to just change the fuel press. reg.  or use one that allows an adjustment from 6 psi to 40-50 psi  and is a return style reg.   this way I wont have to but parts twice. Still planning,,advice welcome,,thanks again,,,Eddie
