    That all looks good Kats!
  2. A 2" rolok on a die grinder works like a small flap disc
  3. Could you take a die grinder and thin the inside of the scoop to make the valance line up?
  4. Pretty color but I find the interior clumsy and I think the shaved exterior makes the car look incomplete. Probably really quick though
  5. Yes, Well done!!
  6. If TerrapinZ doesn't have one, I might C

    I don't believe a replacement is available
  8. What ohm is your current coil?
  9. Are you using the ballast resistor? If not, it seems foolish to not follow the manufacturers instructions
  10. That distributor looks like a good option " 3.0 ohm coil required with ballast resistor delete"
  11. I agree, although new doesn't always mean good. I would start with the dizzy. I think if the coil was the problem then it would be more even across all the cylinders. Although the lastest fouling could indicate a broader problem.
  12. Post a link to the distributor not a screen shot He has tested leads, caps plugs, pretty much everything. The only thing he hasn't done is remove the pertronix from the system. You could just replace the dizzy and see if that fixes the problem. If not then plug wires and coil last...
  13. No replace the ignition with a totally different setup from the dizzy & coil to the plug wires

    You used PayPal but how did you pay PayPal? Debit card? Bank account? Credit card?
  15. Good for him! That was a good price.

    Options: You could source another manifold and galley - not too hard to install Replacing the galley is very difficult unless you have an oxy/acetylene setup. They basically weld themselves into the exhaust manifold over time Remove the manifold and cut the galley and seal up the holes. I did this 30 years ago with mixed results Or you could go all bling and order one of Sean's stainless exhaust systems. Header all the way out... You shouldn't damage the motor with the exhaust leak but you can melt stuff from the heat of the leak blowing on things under the hood.
  17. That's probably a good price for NOS door panels

    I don't mind the clear lens and it came from a friend. So it will be proudly displayed in the engine bay. 😉
  19. Is the car hard to start when it's cold?? If not, then there's not a problem!! If it's not broken, don't break it!

    So I finally got back into the shop this weekend. A while back I was working on reworking some marker lights. Jim Arnett watched me struggle along with that for a while before he said "I have a nice set of running lights all redone if you're interested?" So yes, I'm interested! Jim does nice work and I got them in a week or so ago. I put the rears on yesterday and a engine room light that also came from him. I also got a new shift boot and rubber boot for the end of the transmission I also figured out how to get the maxima calipers apart There is a clip way down inside you need to get out I bought these snap right pliers. They work really good Needs some clean up Rebuild kits come in on Monday
  21. That looks great!

    What are doing about the bleed screw?

    New cam, I would expect new or reconditioned rocker arms. Wipe pattern will have to be checked and that might require new lash pads...
  24. I have the same alligatoring. I hadn't decided if I was going to try to fix it. This seems like a good solution
  25. If it were mine I would swap out the entire ignition system. Coil and distributor with no pertronix
