The harmonic balancer was installed to allow Jerry to find TDC (top dead center) on the engine when it's time to fire it up. |  18. The angled sparkplugs on these RHS heads allow the piston to get more spark and better performance. |
 19. An electric fuel pump was used so a cut-off plate was bolted on. |  20. This air spacer was used to give the engine a better air mixture. |  21. The Demon Carb base was checked before being bolted it down. |
