Well my camera broke which is why I haven't uploaded any pics recently. So I'll tell you what I've done. I took the secondary jets out (78s) and used them to replace my primary jets (69s). Then I installed 88s as the new secondary jets. And this is an annular carb which is why the jets are smaller than you'd think.

I swapped sides with the crankcase breather and the PCV. The PCV gets suction from the intake tube as under boost... well there's boost, no vacuum. I hooked up all of the vacuum fittings, putting a hose clamp on every single one of them. The boost guage is not yet mounted, it's just sitting on my passenger seat with the vacuum hose trailing in from the window.

I installed the air filter and the carb bonnet (check out how close the filter is to the MC) and found that there was no room for the BOV. So I got a flexible plumbing pipe and routed it underneath the boost pipe. (I think that this is causing a loss of boost as it's flexing, I plan to have the BOV pipe cut off and welded to the other side.

Installed the belt. Tension for the D1SC was set according to advise from an ATI tech: Grab the longest strech of belt with two fingers, pull up, it should move 1/2"

The video kinda sucks, the audio is delayed and it ends short. But I'll get a video of it in action as soon as I get someone stupid enough to jump in the car with me that will hold the camera.
