1966 Factory V8 Valiant Signet Restoration For My Other Daughter
A buddy guilted me into welding a tab on the RH motor mount to pick up all 3 tab on the 360. Spent some time fabricating the kickdown linkage using parts that I bought off a member here. It works beautifully except for the throw on the Edelbrock carburetor is about half of the throw required so I’m gonna have to do a little more modifications to the linkage to get some more mechanical advantage. Thought it was going to be done today but I’m giving up I need to take a break and rethink options at a later date. The same friend that made me guilty also found the correct water pump pulley so that’s done. Exhaust manifolds are blasted and I ran out of Seymour‘s high temperature cast blast so I can’t finish those. I found original manifold heat shields so I clean those up blasted them and painted them. Waiting for one more wire clip to finish up the neutral safety switch wire routing. Other than that she’s almost ready to go.
