1978 Caprice, the new on-going project! (Yes, I'm still alive!)

Much more progress, the front of the engine has been repainted and sealed up! I inspected my timing as well, and it was a tooth off. That's what I get for trusting other people to work on my car, and it also explains all of my running / timing issues.

I also finally finished installing my black headlights!

Oh, timing tape is on my balancer now. This should make fine tuning the timing a breeze.

How does it run now?

[murphmobile2]

It's not fully back together quite yet, I just need one full day off and it should be running again.

LoL well that's progress to me. Fireturd used to be that way. Felt so cool that I could one-wheel-peel it into second gear in the rain.

It almost looks like an engine again!

Fresh paint.

That is beautiful!!!

[murphmobile2]

Why thankyou!

I think for now I'll just run my clutch fan setup and install my electric fans later. I just want to be driving it again. It's taking me forever to finish it because I got a car back that was MIA with a bad engine for two years. It's taking up most of my time now that it runs again, haha.

I'm so glad I painted the accessory brackets and pulleys black...

Went to make a video of it running, smoked the battery ground. Literally. Smoke rolling out the hood. Time for a new cable, and time to relocate the ground...

Hrmm. I've never seen a smoking ground before. What was pulling so much juice?
