Quick update! Front end is on and aligned finally!
Radiator out of a 428 1969 Galaxie is in
Tried to get the motor started Sunday just to see what would happen. Went to prime the motor with oil before putting on the distributor, ended up dropping the dang oil pump drive shaft into the oil pan
Had to drain the oil, undo the motor mounts, lift it up about 2 inches, take off the oil pan, and fished the shaft out of the oil pan.
After getting that all put together and priming the engine with oil we found out we had a bad distributor UGHH!!! Here is a picture of the oil pump drive shaft after I fanangled it back in to position
So it turned into a bust, but did get a lot of stuff hooked up like the transmission lines, speedo cable, radiator, & linkages. On the flip side, tonight Super Swampers for the front are on
I have a **** load of stuff that went wrong to make right still. I leave in 12 days. HOLY SMOKES!
Here is the oh crap list:
-Distributor
-Fuel line to carb
-Thermostat housing
-Alternator bracket
-Broken Trans Yoke!
-Ignition switch
-Ignition cylinder
