CIS Refresh

@Robey5 - Thanks for the compliments and the advice. I'm one of those complete OCD guys so I've been really taking my time with the cleanup and rebuild of this engine. I have been trying to figure out how to sort out my injectors, but I like the idea of just sending them out to be professionally overhauled. And yeah, I am currently just taking apart the whole CIS unit to replace all of the washers and rusty banjo bolts, as well as all the fuel lines, vacuum hoses and oil lines. The one component that still looked ok was the wiring harness, although I am going to upgrade my distributor wires and probably upgrade my alternator to power better headlights and a small sound system (I would be happy to just listen to this beautiful engine, but I want to be able to entertain the girlfriend on those long roadtrips). I am pretty sure that I have all of the old fuel/vacuum hoses so I can get the correct lengths, but I am planning to source them from Pelican...I've tried getting stuff locally to frustrating results in the past. Thanks again for the advice. I am hoping to have this baby purring by the end of July.
