Do you have studs or bolts on your valve covers? If you have studs you MAY have trouble getting the passenger's side valve cover off.
My car flexes enough that if I jack it up and take the weight off the front suspension, the valve cover can be removed. I do have valve cover studs. If it's sitting w/ the weight on the tires, the cover contacts the shock tower when I try to lift it off. Hopefully yours doesn't do this since you have snout bars on your cage...wish I'd done that.

The thread won't get lost! I'm a pic/post [censored]! I shortened the Engine Plate and sealed it to the water pump. I also added the bypass mod with a threaded insert to adjust the orifice size. Currently at 1/8 per the other thread on this board.

I can't be the only one who has to remove the shock to get the valve cover off am I? LOL
Even with studs removal sucks. Nope, I forgot to mention that I have to take the shock loose and push the shock stud down out the way.

I have family in town this weekend and won't get any garage time. I'm going to try to pull the valve covers when I get a chance. I'll be sure to snap pics and update the thread. I might start a new thread for the induction. I "think" that I want the new Sniper 4500 fuel injection. However, I haven't read many success stories, and Thumper Carbs appear to be pretty bullet proof. I'll probably to the exhaust or cooling system next and think on this one a little.

From what I've heard so far, I'd wait a while on the EFI. Put a good carb on it and enjoy it...later on when more of the bugs are worked out of these EFI systems, maybe.

Apparently Instagram stopped the hot linking of images. Does anyone have a good pic hosting site? I've been using https://imgur.com/It took a little while to figure out how to use it, but I'm pretty happy with it.
