Just need to Vent
I'm so tired of having delays on this build. Just found out the gauges I have the tach doesn't work correctly. They were supposed to have already been calibrated and working correctly when I purchased them. The owner kept the originals so I had to buy another set. This is not the first time that I have been sold a part that claims to be in mint condition only to find out I got screw again. A lot of money down the drain. I don't buy my stuff off ebay, I look for other sources. Seems like its another delay of a week and move on and it something else so another week there, it's adding up quick trying to get this car done.

That sucks Ray. Makes you feel like it's never going to get finished. Can you work on other areas of the car while waiting for the gauges?
|
Seems like nothing is easy there days.

Anytime you work on a car, its always seems to go "One step forward, Two steps back". At least thats how it works for me. :D Call it Murphys law.;)

Hey Brian, how is your car going doing? Did you install a new cam?
|
Been there, done that... no matter how many delays you have, it always becomes "worth it" in the end when you can enjoy it.

The engine is pretty much done. I ended up rebuilding the whole top end.Installed new valves,pushrods,springs,roller tip rockers and of course new cam and lifters. I'm also getting a new oilpan because the old one was so rusty, I didn't want to take a chance of developing leaks later on.While I'm at it, I'm going to throw in a new oil pump just to be safe. I'm also trying to figure out how I'm going to remove the front coil springs without the engine in. I figure it would be alot easier to remove the upper and lower "A" arms so I can replace the 40 year old bushings. |
