Well, I found the pressure problem. It seems the OIL breather cap I just replaced did not have the hole in the center punched all the way through - result, blowing oil from the distributor. So, my front seal is leaking pretty bad from the added pressure.

I am going to take your advice Big Chevy - and the others, I am just going to do it myself. I have a friend that will help me, but the bottom line is you all have given me the confidence or stupidity to do it myself. Like I said, what is the worse that can happen?? I replace the engine ;-)

Thanks for that - and I will keep you posted!

By the way, I have not been able to send my pics of the truck in to stovebolt yet, but you can see it at www.rinodattilo.com then click mylifeblog. I know that there is more information there than the truck, but if you like you can see it.
