It's alive Better video later. So I got here running after running 5 minutes at 2500 rpm to break in the cam, my headers glowed red, which tells me the timing is to advanced, corrected? I tried a base timing at idle and set it with the timing light to 15. So when running the car at 2000 I tried turning the distributor clock wise it starts to run like crap. I'm thinking at this point I may be off by one tooth. Which way should I move the dizzy by one tooth?

Any comments would be a great help.

Your car looks great!! The engine setup is crazy and it sounds like it has one mean cam in it. I hope the fast works out for you too. Keep up with the work!!!

Details on the RFID start?

Details on the RFID start?

Wesley a few months back I happen to be in China for some work. Next door they were making these RFID units. From my understanding they are the ones used in Lexus and Toyota. Well after some NY negotiation from $325 we left paying $65. I cannot tell you how she works until I finish wiring. But it has all the features auto start, walk away from the car it locks, alarm and other items.

Had some left over Stainless from the fan shroud so I made a few brackets and polished them, one to mount the fuel regulator

Thanks John,

I did some searching around yesterday and they seem to be for sale at a few places but the websites are very Chinese and kinda scare me ;-) I'll make sure to watch your build and see what feeedback you have. All I'm looking for is a RFID push button ignition, so this unit looks to be a good deal at ~$100.

Oh ya, the car looks great!

Thanks,

Wes

So I replaced the cardboard glove box with a custom metal version to house the fuse block, back-up ignition key and EZ fast EFI unit. A little black bed liner and she is ready to go in.
