I would just drill a couple of holes in the top of the bend. Slicing the hose would weaken it too much and allow it to split easier.

I always thought that the vacuum port for the dist was under the carb o teh manifold.

I've been following this for a while and I just took a quick browse at all the pics. Looking exceptional except for one thing that is bothering me. :2thumbdown:

You have taken all of it apart, rebuilt just about everything and you went ahead an installed the seats without painting the frames, they just don't go and look like hell. :gun: Now go back to the 4 bolts, take the seat out and paint those frames. Don't let it happen again! :ax: It reminded me something out of square headlight Jeep restoration. :boxing: :cool:

Yes Jim I am going to take them out and paint them, I put them in when I was in Fla just to get them out of the way. I am in the process of making the shifter plate where the stick goes so I can install the temp B&M shifter (going to have to save for the Lokar tall shifter so it looks like a stick shift tranny. I will do that last cause Peach wants the U-Pol Raptor spray in her Jeep and when she does I might shoot the frames and then I will shoot the shifter plate to match the floor.

P.S. T-Doc, that is the ugliest paper wight I have ever seen :rof:
