Overflow tank will be dealt with when I flush my coolant at 100 miles.

Would you believe I just wasted 20 minutes looking for my PCV valve?

It was in last year'* supercharger the whole time.

Creeping up on finishing. TB going on next.

The people demand less posting unnecessary updates, and more finishing.

Taking a break. I have a few pics to post late tonight or early tomorrow. Can't find the two bolts that hold the MAP sensor bracket to the rear cylinder head now. That may have to wait for now.

Tonight was not what I'd hoped. I had some delays. Broken fuel line clips, and a couple missing fasteners, then searching for the 'missing' PCV that I found in last year'* SC. What an odd place to find one!

Anyway, I did get a few things off the punchlist. This is the stage where you get alot done, but it doesn't look like you did.

Here'* the pics:
