another when was the first. . . .

Ok decided to add up the parts for the fuel line. . . still over $300 for it all. They really get ya good by not making certain connections in certain genders so you have to buy extra fitting. UGH!

I had to go back and add notes why each one was there to keep it all straight.

thats a smart idea! i think i'll use ur idea for my chevelle!

i would strongly suggest the edlebrock line, part # 8126, it tucks under the eddy's choke linkages and looks real clean and you wont have any problems fitting a drop-base air cleaner!

Am I being picky? Fuel pressure gauge and possibly mounting hardware.

Looks like a good selection of parts. I suggest adding a regulator and fuel pressure gauge and set it to 5.5 lbs. max since you're using an Edelbrock carb. Maybe a different filter near the carb.-I personally don't trust those clear ones.

Lammy,
I guess I should have mentioned how much I appreciate the rendering. It will definitely be used when I put my car back together.

Thanks
