The why is simple - impatience.
(At least I’m honest…)
I’ve been working on my truck daily for weeks now , hoping to roll out early April when the salt trucks are done for the year. Snow coming tomorrow btw, streets painted with brine.
Today was gas tank install day. I naively thought I could buy suitable hose for a filler neck locally; don’t know how I got that into my head but I did. The only thing I could find with the right i.d. was radiator hose. Right after the gas tank install comes starting the engine- with the new intake manifold! - and timing the ignition. (high rise single plane manifold swapped out for dual plane, 4 bbl Edelbrock on top)
I’m realllyyyy eager to see and hear my 283 running with that new intake; been a long while in the making.
There’s my explanation.
