The latest update. Haven’t run it yet but plumbing, electric, and now the trans is mounted. It took a little work to get the trans to fit. I had to trim 3/8s of an inch off the throw out bearing to have room but it’s in now.

Getting more done. Now for the Grant Flame Thrower. It’s a little close but I think it will work. Have 2 new points and condensers to install. Will put it in the distributor machine to set it up.
