Slant 6 Turbo 68Dart Project
So far my results seem similar without wind. I think patience is the problem and I am not heating up the metal as I should. I tend to burn through and then get frustrated and it doesn't end well, then I got to cut the pipe and start again. I have a finished pipe now that is super ugly, but super functional. I blasted it and cleared it of any loose slag and burn marks. Looks ok, and will look even better wrapped.
My MSD showed up today. I paid $40/shipped for unknown functionality, and figured it was a gamble. I'll test it tomorrow afternoon, but seller didn't know if it worked or not and it was from an estate buy. For a $330 unit I figure if it needs repair, I'll figure that out. I kind of like the tech inspection window on it too. Wont' see it - but still cool. The harnesses also look nice and will allow an easy disconnect. Assuming this is probably a racing unit, but oh well.
Looks like everything's still in the box to me, and it doesn't look bad, but the test will tell.

Today I'm also ordering my electric fuel pump, some line, wires, and the regulator, so all that will be left is just the AFR and sensor, and I'm there. The build finish line is in sight....
Edit: Yup $250.88 just spent, netting me the Walbro fuel pump, an FPR, some 1/8" hose to route all the boost referencing, some fuel line, (got a return style regulator), and a 90 degree silicone coupler I needed that will reduce from 2 1/2" to 2" to meet the turbo where I need it to.
There's literally just a $153.00 AFR sensor and gauge sitting in my cart to go... anyone wanna just buy it for me? lol. I just gotta wait another week for that one.
