Here is a picture of the back of the motor. Notice we have the carburetor covered with a box to keep gremlins out. Gremlins are everywhere in shops and the LOVE to hide in motors.

Also, you can see a close up of the fuel pressure bypassing regulator. I highly recommend you run a bypassing regulator so you don't end up on the side of the road with a vapor locked carb (and the Corvette guys laughing at you.) You can see the plastic cover on the back of the regulator where we plug in our fuel pressure gauge. (Love them electric gauges; they make life so much easier.) Notice the carb return spring and all the fuel lines are ALREADY hooked up--much easier now!
