Slant 6 Turbo 68Dart Project

Well, got home from the shop at 5, then spent some time shopping around for some fittings for my new regulator that showed up. This one was -8 as opposed to the -6, so it had to be changed. I went to Pepboys first and 9/10ths of the fittings there are FAKE an fittings. They are NPT stuff painted blue and red... And I didn't know that, so it took forever to find the real stuff, but here it is, 10pm and I finally have all the stuff.

I left the battery on a trickle charger my dad lent me, and went to detach the extension cord just now, and just for giggles, tried to turn the motor over. The motor turned over effortlessly (with no spark plugs or anything in) so I think we are good to go tomorrow.

I think tomorrow is boost day.

My old boss used to say: "lord willing and the creek don't rise! heyheyheyhey he he he he"
So hopefully all is well.

Also tomorrow I'm going to hack up the stock exhaust, use the first 2 feet about, and then attach a cheap cherry bomb I had laying around to it, then a turndown - just so it's not so loud that I can't even stand driving it. Also my girlfriend picked me up some 1/8th inch steel from the store so I can reinforce the turbo to the block more. She's so great...
