Z bar installed and hooked up, you can see in the second picture that the adjuster rod is at a slight angle. I can't figure out why. The engine's centered in the bay and the zbar lines up well with the clutch rod. It feels good when you actuate the peddle. I had the wife push the peddle while I watched it and it seems to work. Perhaps my OCD is just kicking in:

And finally, after a short stint with being a tooth off on the distributor and a little trouble getting the air out of the fuel line, she's running!!! (She's a little loud because all I have on there right now is the H pipe):

Thanks! Ran into some issues with it running really rich. Pretty much expected that given the altitude here. I put new jets in this weekend and the car is running great. Took it for a 15 mile drive yesterday and forgot how great the car is to drive. Got back home and went to put it in the garage and the radiator was spewing fluid. A little disgusted at this point, because this is actually the second radiator since I put it back together. Had the original (non-leaking) rebuilt, it leaked, put a parts store radiator in, and now it's leaking!!!
Ordered a Champion aluminum radiator yesterday with shroud and efan. Hopefully this is the last iteration.
