Hi Gary,
Good to hear from you.
In no way do I think that you held back or misreprsented the car. I truly love it and the minor issues are just that.
I am curious however about the use of two fuel pumps in series. Do you recall if you normally kept the electric pump running all the time and do you have an opinion as to whether bypassing the manual pump is a more efficient way to deliver the fuel? I am kind of thinking that as long as the car is getting enough fuel with the current set up, the "back up" factor in the event of one of them failing is not such a bad thing.
I am going to purchase another Holley electric pump to keep on board (just in case) but as long as the car doesn't seem to starve for fuel running through both, what the heck.
Last night after increasing the fuel pressure, I noticed that there was quite a bit of exhaust smoke at idle. I really don't know if that changed, or was always the case. I am assuming that in order to get enough fuel delivery under wot conditons, a bit of a rich idle is not unusual. If you or anyone else reading this has a different opinion, please let it fly.

I bet your new car is amazing. For some reason I was not able to open the file you sent with the photos. Maybe you can group them in another format and try again as I would love to have a look. I know your definition of good, so I'm sure it's quite a ride.
Hi to all your girls...the ones in your family I mean.
