Had the motor on the stand and it would fire a few cylinders but just wouldnt kick off. changed the coil, check the spark at the plugs which looked weak and then decided to change out the points that had the condesnor intergrated in. Put in one with separate points and condensor. Both sets were AC Delco.

All and all im very happy and frankly impressed with the throttle response and how it runs and sounds.

The Uni-points were a known piece of crap in the late seventies, at repair shops. But I'm thinking you weren't even born yet to have heard about that...

Default Off the Stand and Into the Chassis
Didnt feel like wasting any time. Got the engine off the run stand and into the chassis. Finsih up clutch, belhousing, transmission, and driveshaft. Then back to body work. Maybe I will setup a lemondae stand to pay for the exhaust.

Default Engine Detail Work, and Smog
These later year cars seem to have alot of extra work in the restoration to work on items like smog. I was able to restore an original diverter valve which included phosphating the air intake, plating the diverter valve cover, and giving it the GH, and giving a chromate coating to the remainder of the valve. Came out perfect!

Rest of the engine doesnt look to bad either. Even thru in a KI sticker on the valve cover for fun.
