It's time to sleep now. But for those very few of you who are interested in the latest...
The fuel system is all put together on my vintage beetle. I ran out of hose clamps.
I have a carb ready to go in the car to start it. At this point in the project, if this was being shown as a movie, the background soundtrack would be something like "Thus Spake Zarathustra".
So engine start with fuel being drawn from the car's own tank in the next few days.
