                Wiring on 56 +-98% and working, repaired wipers

                engine should be ready to install in two weeks
                new HEADGASKET, valve job, rings (using gapless again), bearings roller lifters, push rods, etc.
                changed from headbolts to Studs
                i had installed plugs behind cam incorrectly and that was pushing the cam forward for 20,00 miles, i assume this is what broke the distributor gear.
                send dual disc ram clutch back for rebuilding
                still to do: change cutouts and exhaust, fuel system for NOS, repaiir or replace rear end gears, waiting on shop to call on installing roll bar, repair AC, TLC in interior, change tires, rebush lower control arms, install trailer hitch, ?.

                          • 148......on another board there is a on going conversation as to the actual starting point. Is it the proving grounds or the tech center? Anybody care to offer their thoughts. I only want to be at the right place on June 2nd.

                              • That's a good question Dave - with no sure answer that I know of yet.
                                I booked a room about a month ago in Utica to cover either a Mt. Clemens or GM Tech Center venue and two days ago I got a room in Wixom in case it really is (hard to believe but who knows) the GM Proving grounds in Milford the first day.
                                Remind me to cancel one or the other when we know.
