The distributor is a neat unit called a "Power Fire" - and it's neatest feature is a little knob on the side that will allow me to advance or retard the timing in 1/2 degree steps without having to unbolt the dizzy. Neat eh?
I've got a new waterpump, pulleys, balancer, alternator + brackets all ready to go on it - and next week I'll probably pick up a nice chrome oilpan to round the package out.
I'm going for a nostalgia look (sort of)- so those are "corvette" script/finned valve covers- and the oil fill tube is on the intake (so I'm hoping I don't have a pvc issue.. if so I'll have to drill into the intake to fit a pvc valve, and there's not a lot of room to do that in. I'd rather not alter the covers that much.
The only real work left is fixing up the exhaust manifold- but I'm a little short on space so I'll work slowly.
So work really is progressing, just very very slowly :)
