Everything look nice and tight. Appreciate everyone’s input guys. Waiting for the clock to arrive so that dash can go in.

Good find. I’ve found if you have a good relationship with a parts store. I have had great luck walking in with the original, find something on there hose rack that has similar bends and adjust as needed.

Ok so here it is Gates 19044. It’s a longer hose that can be cut to the right fit but is a 99% match. I can throw my old ones safely 😊

You can also look at some of the great duct products for marine. Here's a link to something I've used in my boat. It's much stronger and won't rip like other thin products. Doesn't look like you need much but at least it's an option. https://www.fisheriessupply.com/trident-marine-trident-polyduct-hvac-duct/481-3000

I went through a few sets of needles after I installed an AFR gauge in my Z and got a better idea of what was needed. I didn't get too scientific with it, other than making general observations at idle and different throttle positions like you have then looking for a needle profile that was bigger or smaller where adjustment was needed. I'm running a mildly built L28 with SUs. I started with SM needles, which I had to run super rich at idle to get decent AFR everywhere else. I tried SB needles also, but settled on RH needles as the best range for my engine. This is a great website to compare needle sizes https://www.classicminidiy.com/technical/needles. I never found a good source for needles in the states and ordered mine from https://www.sumidel.com/ out of Australia. The conversion rate was decent a few years ago when I ordered, so the price wasn't as bad as their site appears. Good luck!

My bad one of the lines at the vacuum tank connector was ripped. Everything works fine now. 🫡

Just saw a '71(?) on CNN
