ENGINE & TRANS INSTALL

Thanks for thinking about me! Yes we are still enjoying the car with the new engine! It's a lot different feel than the 273. A good different.

I haven't had a chance to drive it in a couple of weeks. Two weeks ago it rained every day. And last week I worked my butt off at my job.

Over the past couple of days I put the fbo limit plate in the distributor. At 18 initial I was going well over 36 total. I got it together this morning, just need to put it back in and reset timing and idle mixture. I also replaced the valve cover gaskets. I think some of the"blow by" was just leaky gaskets.

I should get it back in today. Then I'll take it on a drive to make sure I didn't screw up the distributor, lol.

That will make a noticeable difference. I am glad it came together so well. I feel good to have had even the smallest part in it. Maybe one day I'll get to see it!
