I'm curious what throttle linkage system do you plan to use? Cable? Heim joints and rod? Are they Langdon's Holley-Weber carbs 2 bbls? It's a nice neat install.Congrats on getting to this step.

I took it to the builder and they're going to pull the pan sometime to see if they can see a problem. I hope to have it at the Midwest All Truck Show but, it may be at the "doctor". It sounds awful!!
