A small update, but no pics, I managed to make smoke on Sunday. I chased a faulty (or might have been incorrect) crank position sensor for a few hours on Saturday. It was an odd feeling sitting the garage with a laptop trying to get a spark from the sparking plugs. Anyways, with the new CPS installed and wired correctly (first go 'round had the wires backwards), I managed to get a spark. I still don't have the fuel pump connected, so with a shot of quick start down each carb, the motor fired for a brief moment. Next weekend will see the fuel system somewhat finished and another go at making smoke for a longer period of time. I'm sure there will be leaks, but it finally looks like the end is getting close in terms of the mechanical side of things.
Joe, in regards to miss alignment spacers, I designed the chassis pick-up points and clevises with spacers in mind. I did look at the clevis orientation on the rear uprights and the rod ends do bind if they're rotated vertical. There is no bind if they're horizontal (that is unless the shocks are disconnected).
