Since I've got way too much work to do on the car right now, I'm
farming out the rebuild job (found a shop that'll do it for $250 Can.) 
I'm going to P&P it myself though...

I'm ordering the Standard Abrasives kit today.  It looks like it'll
have everything I need...

I don't have to worry about this because I'm using an A2 throttle body
AND intake manifold (larger runners).  I moved the fuel distributor to
the pass side already with my last swap, so thankfully that work is
done!

might be driving up there soon...
