I may have screwed up ....more than once

Hey i built a stout 4V 351 Cleveland for my 1972 Ranchero. I was just about ready to start it when my brother in law that doesn’t know much about cars, points to something on the floor and says, “doesn’t that belong in there?”
Sure enough I left the torque converter out!

Had a similar moment in a 289W :lol: Had that little bugger all buttoned up and looked in the bottom of the box and found the oil pump drive shaft :lol: I figure I knock the C clip off the shaft and install from the top. Remove dizzy, get it lined up with oil pump and PLINK as it bounced off the bottom of the oil pan :rofl:
