Now two true returns.

Note, I did have to bend two brass receptors down on the diode case to clear the fitting as I do have the 145amp alternator.
Otherwise everything seems to work well.

Ooh contenders! I'm gonna make a call out thread lol. I'm still waiting on pushrods, valve covers, and coolant reservoir. Plus I still need to change injector clips for the Id2000's. after that I might be able to put it in the engine bay.

Currently out in the shop trying to figure out what's wrong with the transbrake. Grrrrr.
