Finally got a chance to work on it again today. Just tying up some odds and ends underhood, cleaned and painted my tilt column. Also got the winch installed on my car trailer.

Going to try a 2 day thrash on the 21st & 22nd to see if I can get this thing running and the cam broke in. My punch list is finally starting to get smaller.

Took the day off from work to get some things done on the car. I topped off all of the fluids: engine oil, transmission gear oil, coolant. Then did some running around for a battery, gas, and misc. odds and ends.

I also swapped out the Hurst handle and knob for a factory style Muncie handle and rare 71'-72' only knob.

Tomorrow: prime oil pump, stab in the distributor, install plug wires, install carburetor, and say a few prayers to the HP gods.

Didn't get it running, tried my best today. I am still chasing a few wires and vacuum connections. May take a stab at it after work tomorrow. Damn I am so close... :bang

Spent some time on it earlier, won't start. I turn the key, and nothing. It is a rainy, crap day - so I gave up a little quicker than usual. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day for weather.

Lots of rain and your car wouldn't run?

It runs! Had the purple and yellow start wires on the wrong post. ::facepalm:: Also had the plug wires one position off on the cap. These happen when you get in a hurry.

Sending you some good karma Bill!
