Think about upgrading your master cylinder from a single pot to a dual. Nice looking car

Notice any performance increase with the engine upgrades? Acceleration/mileage etc.

yeah one day at a time. This is my first attempt at such a project; so learning one thing always leads to another.

That photo was a year back haha ...cold winter.
Its much higher now haha.

I do notice a faster response - much faster. I get that nice torque "pull down feeling" on a few roads out here
I am running lean at the moment while breaking in the rebuild so I would say its not all that fair to compare mileage. Shall report back once I do full tune and adjustments.
