Not yet, waiting to hear back from him. But it is in the works.

Started off my morning reinstalling the harmonic balancer. Set it on TDC, adjusted #1 intake and exhaust. Then rolled it over a few times, no PTV clearance issues. Ran the rest of the valves, installed the intake manifold, and put the valve covers back on. I finished my day by lining up the oil pump shaft and dropping the distributor in.

Made some progress, will try and wrap up the rest on Tuesday.

I also took some time to help the old man dig through the shed full of parts. Found lots of good stuff, and put the spare Monte Carlo deck lid I had on. It fits like a glove, I'm amazed at how good the body line are.

I spent the day at the Telegraph cruise with members of the Chevelle Club of Michigan. It was nice seeing Ken and his wife Judy too. He found out something about his headlights while we were there too.

Tom from the Michigan Chevelles asked me how my headlights were when I got there. I had to think for a minute and then he said on your car. He pulled out this cool tool and proceeded to adjust the headlights on my car and many others today.

Wish someone do that to my car.

That's Tom Lassiter...aka T-man. Been doing headlight alignments for years...was always busy at Chevelle-abration.
That's Tom's wife standing behind him...wearing the visor.
Too bad your not closer Ray...I've got the same alignment kit. Works very well too.

From what I understand Tom will have his kit at the NOCC show. So get ahold of him early and ask him. He will be busy because he will have a booth selling car parts.
