Great work and congrats!
Question:
did you use the bypass or blocking fuel regulator?

I didn’t use a bypass or blocking regulator. I’m using a Holley 12-803 set to 5lbs. Is this ok.

Your good to go, and like Scott said your won't hear it and even if you do it's fine

I haven’t touch the timing yet. Both the TBI and carb are set to 8 deg TDC. I will sea trail it and see what it does under a load.

@Lou C , no regulator needed with the carter

You can run 10 - 12 BTDC with good fuel
