This weekend I am going to try and finish my project.
I have been stuck for awhile w/ a broken exhaust bolt,(#4 against the firewall). I have new heater hoses, intake, carb, valve covers, and exhaust manifolds. Wish me luck. (notice my signature)

Well, I finally got the broken bolt out. Decided to clean up all of the exhaust threads and I just broke off the tap. What a great saturday this has been.

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~
