Installing motor Tuesday

Manchester CT? Which morons are you getting to help? I might know them...lol.
If you can, use an engien tilter - witht he trans it has to really be angled down to not scratch the firewall or radiator support. Also make sure it's up high enough to allow for the tailshaft to point down and swing up as the engine get's lowered. Do not install the distributor until it's in place. I'd also wait on the kickdown linkage until it's in.
