Have you tried for fmj bodies only for your ad ?

One at a time, replace the upper trans bolts with extension studs. Then remove the trans. The studs will act as a guide and align the trans when you re-install.

Happy birthday

Good job on the rebuild of the 318, was the distributor moved to the front ?

All you guys moanin' and groanin'... complain about this, complain about that. How do you think my feet feel after a long drive, eh ?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!

Yes ! don't understate the importance of having air move THROUGH the radiator, NOT above, around, or underneath it ! Hood seal, baffles, lower shield all add to the direction of air through the radiator.

Wizard. I got one.

Whose A/M rad ? I've had some that were useless. On one of my cars I have a Wizard which fits perfectly and the stock shroud fits perfectly. If you desire OEM appearance, spend the $$$ and go Glen-ray. What is your timing set at ? You should have a shroud with the fan halfway into it.

An engine runs most efficiently when the temp is about 195F to about 210F. Higher or lower has consequences. I've always preferred a 180 since that's when the t-stat opens, and the operating temps will usually be higher especially in warm/hot weather.

Welcome. But, I think you should ignore your wife and sell that car to me very cheaply.

Many good points already posted. Use a MECHANICAL oil pressure gauge with metal (copper) feed line.
