Yeah Alan, that was easy enough as I was initially worried about another setback with a defective ignition box.

Distributor is locked at 36° and I plotted a retard curve of 12° from 500rpm to 2400rpm.then another retard curve of 2° from 6000rpm out. It does not want to start cold well atm...thinking it may have an air leak.

Shifter ended up a little higher than I had envisioned...forgot to allow for the elevated shifter brackets. Something else to revisit at a later date. Kind of reminds me of the old "Rat Fink" hotrod cartoons lol. Happy to have the bench seat back where it belongs.

Confirmed air leak...used the wrong Q-jet base gaskets. :o

Brake system completely plumbed and bled...I think it leaked from every joint initially. :rolleyes:

Shift cable too short...remedy on the way. All that remains are the rear wheels.

Nice work, as always. :) -Al

Not exactly what I had in mind, but it is what it is...last two pieces are on the way. :rolleyes:

Rich, at least you don't have to deal with one of those pesky aluminum intake manifolds....;)

Under it's own power again and front-end alignment scheduled for Tuesday morning...all I lack now are the rear wheels.
