Sounds like great service, I have another one that's almost new, I could use it and send this one back.

Yeah, now you have a spare.

You guys are gonna have a nice car. Can't hurt to take a breather. Making a car right isn't easy.

Autumn, you are learning a LOT.

Todd, this thread is showing what's involved in building a nice car. I would venture to guess that most casual onlookers will learn a lot from your well very documented experience.

Thank you. As always it takes longer that you'd like to get one done, we're just changing so much that it adds tons of time. One word of caution to everyone, it's challenging to build something that you can't find parts for.

Just my two cents......

You might consider upgrading with an Adapt-A-Cap from MSD.

This type cap increases the spacing between the spark plugs contacts inside the cap and helps prevent misfires..

While you are at it drill a 7/16 hole in the cap midway between #1 spark plug and the coil terminal to correct the rotor phasing.

Make sure you get the set with the adjustable rotor to correct phasing after you time it.

Have fun...
