Got the double ball setup. I used a lever arm/ball from a B21 Kjet. Cut it down and welded it up to the stock HS6 linkage. I'll post a picture when I clean it up a bit (I'm a lousy welder).

Got the car running, and took it for a drive. Big difference between worn out HS6s and nice HIFs. I'm sure I'm getting better gas mileage.

I'm using a K&N filter that IPD sells for the Djet/kjet manifolds. Fits prefectly (but need to clean it).

I just got another set of HIFs that were rebuilt by Island Automotion (Rhys company), which were never mounted since the rebuild (they were a bargain for $150). Looks really nice, I like that you welded up the butterfly valves to get rid of that relief valve (or whatever it's called).

The choke is setup, but not very nice, will deal with that when I install the rebuilt carbs. Waiting on some phenolic spacers.

Should I setup some tubing for the overflow valves (I think they're called that?):

Springs for the airbox? Anybody figure out something better. Every person I talk to says all the springs are missing from every box.
