just take off the distributor cap first, and mark where your rotor is pointing, and when u put it back in make sure its facing the same way

texasfunk · 07-29-2009, 01:18 AM

also mark the body of the distributor, the way its facing, i usually mark where the vaccum advance is pointing

3r!c84 · 07-29-2009, 01:20 AM

ok thanks i start the project as soon as i get my gaskets
how muych do u think a preformer rpm with help from stock?

flamingbig10 · 07-29-2009, 01:27 AM

oops forgot about the timing issue, when I did it I took the intake off a junk motor and put it on my motor so the distributor wasn't a issue

I think Flamingbig10 is one of the most helpful people on the the board, thanks for the link for the heater.

flamingbig10 · 08-09-2009, 02:40 PM

flamingbig10 · 08-17-2009, 10:34 PM

flamingbig10 · 08-17-2009, 11:05 PM

JohnC · 08-18-2009, 09:16 AM

Amazing how those little things make a big difference.

flamingbig10 · 08-26-2009, 12:19 AM

I worked on the dash a little to get it ready to fiber glassed

justpball · 08-26-2009, 09:49 AM

nice bro, keep us posted on the dash...

flamingbig10 · 08-26-2009, 05:05 PM

I finished cleaning up the dash and sprayed some self etching primmer on it and to close up the holes I'll be using air ducting tape

silvrbreez · 08-26-2009, 05:08 PM

If possible, while you have the dahs off, could you snap of pic of where you used the air duct tape to seal off the water from getting in behind your cowl?

flamingbig10 · 08-26-2009, 05:11 PM

on the cowl panel on the cab I closed up all the openings using the tape

flamingbig10 · 09-09-2009, 10:07 PM

Today I cut a panel for the inside fenders

JohnC · 09-10-2009, 12:53 PM

Looks good.

flamingbig10 · 09-16-2009, 12:56 AM

thanks John, I finished up the panels but I realized the hood springs need a fresh coat of rattle can

JohnC · 09-16-2009, 08:41 AM

They really help clean up the engine bay. Good work.
