yeah and given some short time ill have them on the car i just need to get the tires for them....but right now im more worried about the rest of my car running issue lol

its running rich as hell right now like it bogs when i hit the gas and in the beginning of a gear it bogs again idk if its because im on a fresh rebuild or what lol

becauseit seems to be getting better everytime i drive it but i mean im running on 1500rpm at idle and it isnt healthy for the car at all but if i lower it anymore it runs like complete shit!

ive adjusted the throttle screw the tps and the distributor and it did nothing idk what to do other than just get more air into the system to try and kill the rich issue

not bad.

FYI, do a compression test, you should always do one after doing somethin like a head gasket.

Are the wheels hyper black or more of a graphite? They look black in the first pic and in the close up look kind of graphite/gunmetal ish.

I think in the first pic he took it with flash and in the second without.  I know on a lot of digital cameras if you take pics close up of some blacks without flash they look like a dark metal color.
