1 compression test
If acceptable go to
2 pertronix
3 different head
4 four bbl carb
Got my fingers crossed on the compression.
I also need
Locking hubs ( leaning towards selectro)
Dual brake cylinder and new lines/hoses.
I am on the fence with disc brakes.
It seems to stop fine and the drums are good.
But the road gears would make it so my bride would be more likely to go for rides with me

It installed easily.
But I ran out of time before it got dark.
I dont think i understand what to do to adjust a hei distributor.
Set the timing with vac advance plugged.
Then connected the hose and drove a bit.
It had more balls with the points.
My distributor didnt come with instructions

Finally got around to ordering the windshield rubber gaskets and a replacement door window frame.
Now i will be able to open both windshields and they will be weatherproof when closed
AND my freakin door windows will finally work right!

I am going to make the lip for the cowl vent taller so water wont leak in so easy and i am thinking plumbers putty for a water tight seal.
I already have cleaned out the drain hole.
But this fall i completely sealed the vent off in my frustration of having water pouring all over my behind dash wiring

Got the rubber cowl/windshield gasket.
It doesn't seem wide enough to completely fill the gap from front to back
It looks like it will do a dandy job sealing out water though and it will look good on the outside.
I am going to use some black permatex to be absolutely sure its watertight.
Beats duct tape!
I also found some satin paint in a color called hunting lodge green i like a lot
