Second Best Christmas present ever
 

3 Attachment(s)
I want to thank everyone on FB for your help and those selling me the parts I needed. This was what I wanted for Christmas to have the engine together and setting in the frame. I have taken several steps backwards before taking one forward over the past two years, but this is the second best Christmas present ever. My daughter born on Christmas Day was the best present ever.

The experience on here is unmatched anywhere and the willing to share is truly extraordinary. FB you made my 2019 Christmas special, and for that THANK YOU!!

Nice Job ! Nice choice on the Rochester 2G carb and Merc 255 intake along with the mechanical advance distributor too. That combo works well.

Very nice. It'd good when things start to come together after a few setbacks. I like the fact you kept the head bolts unpainted. I think I'll do the same.

I think all he means is that the chevy distributor has mech adv, as opposed to what the 8ba distr had. Sure, the chevy distr also has vac adv.
