I got the headers back and got them installed...
I like the finish...
It's Eastwood High Temp Matte Silver...
Found 3/8" fine thread nuts with a huge shoulder on the back and 5/8" head to fasten them on with...
Once the headers were on the front chassis bars and shocks were installed...
Steering column is also installed...
...FAFO...

Not a big deal but I also managed to get the right hand kick panel installed...
I'm re-routing the tach cable when I finish the throttle pedal bracket...
This left me an open grommet to run the temp gauge through once the dash is installed...
Left hand side kick panel will go in once some more wiring is finished...
...FAFO...

Thx Ted...
Not much has happened here lately...
The guy who painted my car got his hand hurt...
I've been spending time helping assemble his car...
Deal was to have them both done by Memorial Day weekend so neither should be a problem...
I finished sorting out the new throttle pedal bracket...
Clipped the cable in place and everything works smoothly...
Got it painted and installed along with the alternator...
I drilled for the new tach cable location and installed the grommet and cable...
The alternator doesn't look like it lines up in the pics but it is dead on...
...FAFO...

Video won't load here...
Had it running for a little while today...
Holding about 75#'s of oil pressure...
Probably should have let it warm up a little more...

How the heck are you getting that to idle at 600 RPMs with that cam? I'd set that around 900 or 1000.
I love the smell of Deer guts in the morning, it smells like... VICTORY!

It was at 1100 the other day when it was warm...
It only ran for about 50 seconds or so when I took that video...
I'll get a good one once I get everything warmed up and timed...
Probably move it outside too so I don't end up deaf...

There has been some progress but since work picked up things aren't going as fast as usual on the car...
I ordered a driveshaft and have it here to install...
In case anyone's curious it ended up 32 3/4" long...
I sent the car out and had it lettered...
Finally decided on a name for it too...
...FAFO...
