Thanks for the response Dave...I was leaning in that direction....no slop, or residue in pan, no apparent wear on old forged distributor, no change in pitch with cast iron dizzy gear, visual of cam dist. drive gear showed no apparent wear markings. The engine runs sweet, good oil pressure, no flat spots....couldn't ask for any smoother without a total rebuild.
I'll go with that for now.....am looking for another 235 to build as a spare just in case.
I plan on putting some road miles on this project and haven't had much luck locating a quality rebuilt long block. Got any suggestions?
Once again, thanks for your response.
Dave
