I got the Platinums in today and the wire set and for aesthetics only a black distributor cap.
Didn't do much today but start getting my motor mounts modified by adding a little more strength to them, I will get those welded hopefully tomorrow and finished up.
I need to jump in the engine bay while it is empty and cut my exhaust pipes off about 2" shorter and trim some on the shifter opening in the transmission tunnel so there is more clearance for the short-throw shifter. I got my shifter lever modified today as well and bolted it to the shifter.
Last week I got the oil pump, and pan installed, so most everything is back on the short block, I think as soon as I get the stuff done above I will be ready to drop the motor back in for the last time, after that happens I will get the ignition system assembled and installed.
I ordered a mock-up Vintage Air evaporator as well so I can make sure everything I am doing under the dash is not going to interfere, when I start doing the A/C install I won't post it here but over in the car build thread.
More check-marks every day.
See Ya,
Mike
