It seems the small details always take the longest, been working on sorting out what I need to buy and what I need to fabricate to fix the issue with the spark plug wires on the driver side. I think I have what I need coming and I will fabricate the rest. Got the starter wire all installed and shielded. Started installed, P/S Pump bracket on, one of the Alternator brackets, the other has to wait until the valve cover spreader show up and we can finish install the valve covers. Carb is cleaned up a best as I can with out rebuilding it and installed, PCV hooked up. This ironically is the air cleaner that just happened to be on the motor when I got it and so for now we are going to use it and see once the engine is in and see if we have clearance for a taller air cleaner. I am going to route the Passenger side breather tube into the bottom of that air cleaner at a later date. My son, (BTW his name is Steven), spent the entire night on the wire wheel cleaning the starter, more brackets and bolts and the exhaust manifolds and some heat shields all up so they will be ready when the paint shows up......however I am getting antsy to test fire this thing again. If the paint takes too long I might temporarily put the exhaust manifolds on before we have the paint so we can test fire it.
