thanks john, glad you reminded me about the filter i need to rework that line anyway. oh no, need to make it too pretty i already got antifreeze down the front after a fitting broke on the temp gauge. i started it back up on thurs after i retourqued the head. i am thinking of getting a carb kit for a rochester b for my 64 truck. i am without wheels except my wifes car till i get the carb that i temp put on this one. i need to change the rear brake line and temp bolt down the seat and i can drive the 63 i put this engine. it is pretty rough another reason not to pretty up the intake/ alt.
but just like my 64 it had set for years. the 64 was free for hauling it off and the 63 i made more money than i paid for it selling junk off of it like the v8.
i was just so glad this started so easy i didn't want any probs with the higher lift cam. and the temp never got over 180 deg, i guess that was 'cause it was cool outside. i can't wait to see what what it will do.
