Yesterday, the new beaut AccuSpark electronic distributor ($144 including post) that I had ordered from England arrived. I hope it works as well as it looks. It comes with a detailed instruction leaflet so I need to read everything before I put it on.
Today I got quite a few things completed. The remaining two welch plugs on the side of the block were fitted. The cylinder head then went on & it takes a while to tension all the bolts in order to the 70 lbs required. The valve clearances took a while to get correct & the thermostat went on. I cleaned the torque converter & then bolted it to the flex/drive plate. This, again, takes time to tension the four bolts to the correct tension & I used thread locker on these as well. The manual comes in really handy by specifying all the tensioning torques. The new fuel pump was next to go on & some other pieces so that now the engine is ready to lift in.
I now need to concentrate on cleaning & painting the engine bay with that on my agenda for next week.
