It took me long enough, did it by myself. Tore out wiring under hood ie; wiring associated with regulator and such as she's been converted to hei system. Replaced all primary wires. Had someone come check my work. Allwas good except I didnt have the wire on the alt. to charge. Did that, adjusted the carb and shockingly she runs. Havent been able to post pics as I am using my cellphone.

 

It's always a stomach wrencher to start cutting, isn't it?

 

 

Especially being blonde, left handed and a girl! lol

 

Way to go! Even with the blond handicap.

 

Hey I'm left handed! And I find that....that.....yeah, you're right. Good work!

 

Good job! Detailing under the hood can do quite a bit for the appearance of a vehicle. I've always hated vacuum lines and wires running "this way and that" under the hood. I try to keep it to a minimum on my 71 98.

 

Great! Don't let anyone (especially "professionals") tell you you can't do anything.

With determination, some book-readin', and maybe some advice from a friend, you can do all of this stuff, even if you're ambidextrous.

I rebuilt the engine in my kitchen 13 or so years ago. Got oil leak. I figure I'll start with valve covers and work my way down

 

We need some pictures.

 

I'll get some pics. posted. She aint pretty. Been ten years since i painted her.

 

[QUOTE=tbird;598021]I bet the valve covers are dishwasher safe

 

I used to have a tail fin on my 72

 

[QUOTE=oldsman72;598215]Thats a good idea. Not sure about color. Im painting the engine compartment flat black. I used to have a fin on my car. I think it came off a corvette.

 

A fin?!?

Is this anything like the car in the Johnny Cash song?
