I know good pictures are important but GEE WIZZ...size them down or just post a link to them...I have a 19" wide screen monitor and I still have to scroll sideways just to read the first page in the thread..it is a pain in the butt. :x
To OP:
If the guy told you he had an old dirty dominator that would go with it,then why does he owe you a $2000 Lingenfelter carb that you didn't know about until after the trade? It is obvious you didn't expect a $2000 carb when you traded(by your own words he told you it was old dirty carb)
Not taking sides just pointing that out.
