This doesn't really have much to do with the Megasquirt install, more of dealing with the customized 4bbl intake and the problems it created.
I moved the plate the holds the coils a little higher on the valve cover to fix the clearance issue against the heater box. When I put things back together, then I noticed that the valve cover itself was touching too. Cut off the corner, weld in a small filler piece and that is fixed.
The 4bbl throttle body needed a cable bracket for accelerator and TV cable. Also had to make a lengthened tab for the TV cable attachment "nub". The brackets that hold the fuel rails required the bracket sit a little farther away than normal.
Intake pipe got fitted and welded up. It is right in the way of the upper radiator hose going to the thermostat housing. Mine come out of the top instead of the front. So, I made a custom job to go under the intake pipe. I'm going to add an air bleed screw at the top, the bung just hasn't showed up yet. I might not work at all.
