Trying to get the ol girl back together. Installed her nice new rebuilt head yesterday. Today cleaned up timing gear area and drilled and taped the holes for the water pump adaptor. Gasket kit just arrived. Tomorrow I’ll put the pans and covers on and paint the engine. I figured since there’s a nice hole where the transmission usually sits, I’ll take advantage of it. I can stand in there and have nice access to the gauge clusters. Pulled them out with the wiper motor and ordered all new. They should be here hopefully by Monday?? All of the other misc parts have been painted and are waiting to be bolted back on.
Slow but steady progress!
See ya soon.
Jim
