Figured out parking pawl is broken/warn =
parking doesn’t hold the car. Need to leave in gear to keep it from moving.


Now need to get this tune right!!

Made up this gauge/switch panel:

I messed up one of the switch holes. I will try to cover up with a washer.

Found out my nice Autometer boost doesn’t read below 10 psi so I will use this old one for the time being.

Fixed the fuel pressure issue but tune is still off:

Pulled fuel out of it (a lot) and was able to make one good hit:
