What a week

A little update on the dist. fiascoes, pulled the engine, dropped the pan and oil pump and with a sledge hammer and long bar drove the bottom of the broken dist and drive shaft out. Everything looked ok so I put it back together with a HEI dist and Quadrajet carb and manifold. Looks a little more like a "rat" thing. (I was asked at the show what style it was? I said "rat kustom" they seem ok with that) But with my luck I did some thing wrong putting the pan back on[S On the first trip down the freeway it started blowing oil all over the place. Around town nothing bad happened, only at highway speed, so now i'll pull the front cover and see whats up That should be easier than pulling the engine and dropping the pan again. There's a big cruize next week in Ontario, Ca i hope to make.
Sorry for carrying on so long but like i said "what a week"
You have a good week.

Not a bad little engine if i can stop the oil thing[S

OK, I'll quit.
