no I didn't call , I'm releying on the guy at the engine rebuilders to do the calling around he said he would source out the parts I need, for now I'll get this thing built with a good quality bottom end and try the stock cam to see how it is , I'll put back in and see how she drives and plan my next up grades while I drive it.
I'm for sure getting a whole new distributor, coil and modual. I have the 'duraspark' in it right now, the local guy can get me a new stock distributor.
meanwhile I got my starter rebuilt and altenator rebuilt. pics below...
the carb....I'm still deciding what to do..
My rad is done I just have to go pick it up at the rad shop.....
starting to degrease, derust and clean up the other extremities, gettin em ready for paint, did a sample paint job on my flywheel inspection plate to see how it would look.... pic below......
oilpan had an inch of crud on it , spent a while cleaning it and i'm taking the paint off of it with a grinder , long job and I'm not done but got a couple pics of it earlier in the clean up process and one of where I left off.
gotta do brakes next and rear axle bearings...
and the guy at the engine shop says to get a proper rear end and tranny before making any more performance upgrades.
he said start with the spark system next and the carb..
More details later....
