1970 Dart Swinger FINALLY UNDERWAY
Well this is about where I ended up for the night. All the pistons are back in, for the first time the block has all 8 pistons in it since I now have a replacement for the ring I messed up. I took extra care this time around to not get anything between the crank and bearings that shouldn't be there. Meaning putting surgical tubing over all the rod bolts and blowing everything off with the compressor multiple times. The cam and lifters are in along with the fuel pump pushrod. Head bolts will be here tomorrow then I can get those on. Tomorrow should have some nice pictures coming along.
The only issue I have at the moment is trying to sort out the rockers I have, so far I have two somewhat usable shafts, 6 good rockers and 26 that are scored with varying severity. Along with a couple springs, a number of rubber O rings, and some small metal spacers. I got the rockers organized here and grouped by number, it looks like I'm not the first person in the history of these to try and put together one good set out of two sets. (maybe 3 or 4 sets) Anyone know anything about these old isky adjustables?
