Working on the carb box. Need to add pipe stubs for the blow off valves, and reroute the fuel lines. See the y-block for the -8 fuel lines, and the extensions so I can fit a bulkhead fitting and the two AN fittings inside the box.

Drivers side header, almost done fabricating. You can see the oil supply for the turbos and I haven't yet made the sparkplug wire separators. I'm also still using the Duraspark ignition here.

Passenger side header. I think I'm done fabricating the pipes and this is a final mock-up to double check everything. The pipes are all painted but the wires etc aren't routed so I haven't run it yet.

Cold side piping, passenger side. They clear the battery nicely. I need to move it to the trunk, and add a shorter pipe to a second filter but it works OK for now.

Passenger side header and turbo unit showing the relationship between these parts on the car. You can't actually put it on like this but this is how it goes. The high temp paint didn't last long.

I made this box to hold a stock late model Camaro panel filter. It got wet in the rain so I added a shield.

Fabbing the box. I haven't drilled the holes for the throttle cable, the transmission cable, the vacuum lines, or even the boost tubes.

One very complicated box it took three cardboard versions to get it right. Only about a day to make it though. It has exploded three times. I tried running a little lean and boom. I run richer now and I don't grind the welds as thin.

68 Ford LTD. Another shot of us at the gas station. Had just pulled it out of the farm yard where it had been stored for 14 years. We stopped for more air in the tires.
