What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

New aluminum heads are on and torqued, preliminary valve lash adjustment, headers reconnected at both ends. Steering column back in - except the shaft is 1/4" short of full engagement with the splines on the box. Guess when I was pushing/pulling/beating trying to get it loose, the telescoping shaft slid in a little and it does not want to come back out.

Also trial-fit my intake - but even with just the valley pan and no gaskets, the bolts don't quite line up. With the iron heads, the same setup did fit. The heads were milled around .050, and the intake surfaces should have been milled the right amount too. Just to make sure I wasn't looking at it backwards, I tried a gasket on each side and it made the problem worse. Looks like I'll need to enlarge the holes in the intake a bit...
