Plug wires, cap, condenser, points, rotor, and some hoses and this part is done.

Sarcasm is just one of the many services I offer.

I like my water filtered through a bed of grains, cleansed by yeast, and preserved with hops.

Looks good!

Late FI case, so electric FP? Or gravity feed? :P

Check your TDC with a piston stop tool, the aluminum pulleys I've checked were nowhere near accurate, not even close.......

Good tip.

Next arts and crafts project is a run stand. Anyone have a junk trans or bell housing?

I have trannies but none I want to cut up. Don't make a run stand, it takes up too much real estate while being stored. A chunk of bell for a run adapter is all you need, I cut this with a Sawzall:
