Wow, yes I do.
May be a coating like the coating spray
Since I don't know, are you supposed to leave the coating on that it comes with
or wipe it off and put the thick cam lube on it. Because maybe then that's what
he was referring to. MAYBE...I'll shut up and keep lurking which I'm a Pro at.
Sorry to bother everyone

No , sorry if you was offended, truly.
That black coating is a protective coating.

Now to install the radiator, fill with coolant and burp her good, get the intake and carb on and prime the oiling system, set oil gear back in and get her on top dead center on compression stroke.. another day on the hill with my back brace on, and off.
Well.....you know them west coasters. They could be over medicated on anything. Just look at that @junkyardhero guy. LMAO
i don't smoke that cheeba, only ayahuasca tea for me, thanks.
but you know i love talkin' about shafts
I hear you like the heads, too. lol
So happy to see the pool table getting cleared off, now to set the dizzy to about 15/20 degrees advace timing and fire this small block up again..
I will see if I can get a video or 3 loaded up with some help from my son soon, I am looking forward to another drive this morning, yesterday's drive showed me the cam selection is victorious @MeMikieJr
Very mutch stronger at a dead stop tromp, and pulls like I lowered the gears, yep mikie is tickled to say the least, I want to thank @Kegan B for the help picking one out for my stall and gears.

Thank you Joe, yes , took her out and just got back from a five mile drive , now to drain break in oil (Driven 40) out and look at it closely and change filter
Looking forward to some windshield time, 10 miles away and ten back home, check everything, next run will be twice that to a town where the drag strip is at and back (inspect) with a temperature lazer on axels and spindles, hit the trans with it first thing.
That sure does mean alot, Tony will be on my mind all day now, he sure was a blessing to a bunch of us here, and I enjoyed Thelma and her energy, and her cooking. Counting my blessings as I start my day.
Thank you Red67gts.
Took off to the forest for some fellowship and put miles on my cam and lifters, parked near the band shell and enjoyed 6 hours of musicians and my friends music, great day , I was at a Chevy truck show, so of course I popped My hood when I got there and she had 10 chevy owners all around her asking questions, not a bad bunch of guys in that club. Drummer and guitarist was in one of my band maybe two, 43 year long friendship
Momma drake came over to get a better listening to the music, lost them in the grass line.
Life is good everyone, thank you for a great ride in life.
AKA memike, on the hill in the sticks where I belong.

Just to update everything and thank all that made this 66 Plymouth my girl friend.
Car show at George Rays Wildcat Dragstrip and removed the restrictive exhaust to a 2 1/2 straight threw mufflers, had those 2" restrictive Walkers on just because I had them , quitting the car so running was easier and could drive it with the 2" first picture, made myself a fan shroud I am very proud of out of a Dodge 100 318 truck, 78 I believe it was.
Video one day soon but I had to retune.. timming and carb after the new exhaust.
I have put 4 60 miles on her, I put a pusher fan on just to cool the engine bay after I parked or incase of stopped traffic.

She feels like a well tuned 440 with the sure grip 2.97 gears, love cruising at 60 at only 2 grand, aftercare inspection here at home on jack stads (u-jounts , wheel bearings, and front end I might have to see how she likes cruising at 85 or 90.
She has been flawless, do drips under her (witch is amazing) no blow by on this 25 year old engine, I did put new lifters, two new rockers and high energy cam shaft Crower lifters, comp cam.
She likes the China knock off Air gap and seald right up.
Thank you all again that helped and made it possible to have owned this 66 Valiant Sedan for well over 22 years now. Hopefully made some of you proud

Time flies at our age, faster then I would have expected it to back when I was 50.
Thank you so much, reading this post sure made my morning. You my friend have a grand day and live life like someone left the gate open .
Wow, I would say so ! Nothing prettier then a nice mowed hay field with a bunch of rolls setting in it, took pictures in one of my granddaughter and my 64 chebby truck I had. Have a great day my friend
