A-Body Round #2- My '76 Scamp restore...
Well, it kinda hurt my soul a bit, but took a die grinder to that beautiful intake casting on top in order to get it to fit below the Dutra alignment bar... thankfully the ground area is all hidden under the bar and won't be visible.
I'm in process on locking the distributor so there is no mechanical or vacuum advance, which appears to be what is necessary to work properly with the Sniper since it includes an option for timing control once I bought this special "Coil Control Module"... Hopefully finish that lockout tomorrow. Thinking I'll try to get the motor bolted back into the car this weekend. Then after that there's gonna be a bunch of wiring, fuel lines, tranny cooler lines, exhaust section from the Dutras down to where i hacked off the TTI Headpipe, etc to do... Getting closer and still have a lot to do, but pretty confident it'll be ready to go by the time Spring rolls around...
