Hi folks
Sorry I missed the VR show today. My latest project took far longer than expected
. I probably made 6 runs to various parts stores to try to find vacuum fittings, upper radiator hose, thermostat, and plugs. I started this project on Thursday night, worked on it Friday night, and ran into the big timing problems on Saturday. My friend and I had removed the distributor to ease installation of the intake. This turned out to be an issue as putting it back in and getting it in the right firing order wound up taking all day Saturday. Granted I spent an hour or two chasing parts and drinking an adult beverage while rethinking what went wrong but it is finally done. I did screw up and simply swapped the old temperature sensor from the old intake to the new one and of course now it doesn't work so tomorrow I will be back under the hood again 
to work on installing a new one. The car will be fully functional for RMMR and will be running better than it did before ;D. I would attach a pic but it wouldn't come out showing anything so everyone will get to see it in SBS. Once again, sorry I missed the show but the rainy weather kept me focused on finishing the car. PS. Hope ya all cleaned house on winning any stuff they may have given away
