Thank You Jim. It was your first letting me know about the Facebook post that lead to this . I can’t Thank You enough for looking out for me. Unfortunately, a couple of the links were taken down for the following reason.

I rewatched the video shortly after it was sent to me, and after I seen it on Facebook, and YouTube I contacted them. We discussed the following.
I like the part where Senior says, “OBVIOUSLY IT’S A HILBORN, YOU CAN SEE”. While “obviously you can see it is a Kinsler unit.
Hilborn was sold out to Holley in 2023. Holley was going to start to build them and just a few short months later they pulled the plug on the whole deal and stopped production”. The remaining units that were in stock were sold off to about four engine builders and there is NO support for those units past the person you bought from.
Please have this information corrected when Jeff does the writeup. A Hilborn unit would devalue this build significantly. If my widow and family have to deal with this pending my passing, the details MUST be correct.
Currently the above link is the only functional one. The other YouTube link had “ he meant to say Kinsler “ written in but that’s gone as well.

The relationship between Hilborn and Kinsler has never been clear to me. The first Kinsler catalog I received years ago contained an assortment of various mechanical fuel injection manifolds, many based on modified Hilborn units .
The injection with the purple stacks actually looks VERY similar to the Crower manifold that I sold a couple of years ago.

I have had Crower, Hilborn, Algon, McKay and Kinsler. I can tell you the quality of the Kinsler unit is so superior to any of the others. Hilborn and Crower both experienced throttle linkage binding due to expansion and contraction when the engine temperature changed.
I am very happy with this unit currently. We will see how it runs on the dyno. Kinsler has also made changes in there throttle linkage.
