Ollie,

It's coming along nicely!  I like the new console.

I am very impressed by your console work. Nice job. Keep it up and you may be getting orders for custom consoles.
(one such order may be from me)

Back in the engine compartment now. Hope to get fired up by the end of the week.

I have made posts in the engine section under Clifford Headers. That is all sorted out now. Had some fitment issues, all solved. Had some carb issues, but that is solved. I don't personally like the way the carb sits but that's the way it ended up to work.

Got the fuel pressure regulator mounted.



Working on the water to the intake now. Fabing some brackets.

We are mighty close to firing the Rambler up !!!! I am getting excited too as I know the Rambler wants to run !!



Plumbed water to the intake. I used heat shrink fittings as I would have had 300 lbs of metal clamps.   



All I am lacking now is getting the Lokar cables hooked up. Hope this doesn't turn into a nightmare, my luck has not been running to good with this Clifford package.

Listen for the rumbling sound from the Southland...{The Rambler}

You are a hoot.
Let us know when you are about to fire it up - I'll stand and listen carefully for it.

Ollie, I'm so envious!  I just got a gasket set for my motor, let alone getting it in the car and ready to run!  She looks mighty fine, my friend.  Good job!

Ollie, what are those heat shrink fittings on the hoses? I don't think I've ever heard of such a thing. Is this a new technology? Inquiring minds want to know.
