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

Looks good!
Late FI case, so electric FP? Or gravity feed?
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:
Get a 2 gallon outboard motor fuel tank and a battery and you're in business.
