Hard to say, and I don't have the original estimate handy. But we're already into things that wasn't on the original estimate.
My job was to do the disc brake conversion , get it running and complete the underhood area. but we're already past that

but with the unknowns with the engine it was felt best to pull it apart now and investigate as opposed to later when everything was done.

Why do you ask,,,,,,,,???
pm me if you prefer

Got all the long missing A/C compressor brackets and pulleys located, redone and installed . A better and more correct water pump idler pulley and bracket are located and enroute to me now.

It's a new power steering pump. Glass beaded and re-used the original pump reservoir can and pulley.

I also found all the pieces to repair the heat riser.

Another view of the redone a/c components.

Is that high pressure power steering hose new? If so where'd you get it?

Well, I had to take advantage of the help while I had it today.
So, in it went.

And like Prego, it's in there.

I had to find pieces to repair the heat riser. Not to bad of a job, now just need to weld it back together.

Other side with the bi-metal spring

I couldn't find a new weight or a new shaft, so I had to re-use the originals.

Very nice

Looking great! Love the color combo.

A few pieces I had plated came back last week.

long overdue update. I've been working on it here and there, but the past week I've been hitting it pretty steadily

Rebuilt the original single point dist, added some lighter spings for the advance. With NOS points and condensor, nos original tan dist cap and rotor, and even picked up an nos vacuum advance unit.
