If we want to see pics, that is funny.  I have been waiting for pics!
Nice job.

Good job!  It beats the heck out of a rubber line.  I tried to install the same set of lines but didn't like the sharp turn at the alternator or that it would have to contact the alternator.  So I ended up mounting the filter near the pump and running a longer line I made over the front corner of the valvecover to a 45 fitting at the carb.  But your installation seems to have worked out much better than my attempt, for some reason.  I remember the bend at the alternator was much tighter for me.

Thanks for the comments guy. I have to redo my heater hoses though. It bugs me how they drape over the valve cover like that. I really want to clean up my engine bay as I LOVE a clean, uncluttered engine. I'm also going to get some nice plug wire looms to straighten them out but I think the wires I have on there might be too long for that. They sorta seem like a toss between a universal kit and a SBC kit. And, I gotta get a flat-base air cleaner pan. The dropped base requires me to use two spacers which is kinda silly.

I'm going to keep an eye on that hose where it touches the alternator for any chaffing. It's double-layer braided stainless and then rubber beneath so rub-through would be a pretty small concern but you never know.
