    Woohoo guys! Been flying solo since I put my computer in storage, but almost done. When my buddy gets here with his camera I'll post some pics.
    Things left to do:
    -Wiring (alternator/coil/choke). The dizzy got set up with an ignitor unit today! Still have to figure out how the coil mounts to the engine.
    -Vacuum system. Found some diagrams. Should be fun! Nothing is hooked up yet.
    -Headers still have to go in. This will be the big fun of the night! :thumbs2:
    -Have to attach the throttle and kickdown to the carb
    -Hook up fuel line
    -prime engine with oil
    -figure out where my PCV valve is supposed to go :hmmm:
    -fill the radiator and top off the ATF
    -squirt alil marvel in each spark plug hole
    -spark plugs n wires
    -BLAST OFF!!

    I'll keep you guys posted. Thanks for the help so far! :Handshake

    ooph. Those headers took over four hours to get in there hahah. Well... The passenger side took over 3 hours. The driver's side was pretty straight forward.
    Now onto the rest! :bouncy:
