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. ![]() ![]()

Confirmed air leak...used the wrong Q-jet base gaskets.
![]() Brake system completely plumbed and bled...I think it leaked from every joint initially. ![]() Shift cable too short...remedy on the way. All that remains are the rear wheels.

Under it's own power again and front-end alignment scheduled for Tuesday morning...all I lack now are the rear wheels.
