Re: '67 El Camino H/SA
Back on four legs again. Axles installed and the Wilwood disc brakes clear 15" wheels with ease. Mounted some 30x9 Hoosiers on 5.5" BS wheels and they tucked in nicely, but they were a little tight on the frame side. I'll be ordering 5" BS wheels and that part will be finished.
Right now I'm battling a no fire situation with the new MSD 6530 box...

Re: '67 El Camino H/SA
The "no fire" situation is solved and the beast is alive. Tip of the day...ensure your 12v switched source has at least 9v when cranking. 3v will not cut it...

Re: '67 El Camino H/SA
Yeah Alan, that was easy enough as I was initially worried about another setback with a defective ignition box.
Distributor is locked at 36° and I plotted a retard curve of 12° from 500rpm to 2400rpm.then another retard curve of 2° from 6000rpm out. It does not want to start cold well atm...thinking it may have an air leak.  Shifter ended up a little higher than I had envisioned...forgot to allow for the elevated shifter brackets. Something else to revisit at a later date. Kind of reminds me of the old "Rat Fink" hotrod cartoons lol. Happy to have the bench seat back where it belongs.
