The other half of 4th gear, turned down into a spacer, and a spacer to replace the 4th gear spring.

4th gear delete spacer, prevents the slider from moving into 4th.

I think it’s From Glenn Ring.

Our friend Jesse has been holding onto it…He got it from Dario a couple years ago in trade.

Its a nice piece. 👍 I’m honored to put it to use on this build.

Some fine-tuning on fits today. I’m happy with everything. Onto heater boxes.

019 is going to look great!

Drag racing legend John Redding had a valve cover leak yesterday on a drive. I was able to get a good look at his nasty turbo engine.

I talked to Brother’s machine shop yesterday. They said next week on the engine case.

Looking good Ben! Plenty of room for toys.

One piece at a time. The 1/2 cylinder tin edge needs to be extended.

The fan shroud has holes for the thermostat flaps, I like to install the original flaps minus linkage and tack welded open. Cool? Or we can shave the holes?

Another question, since we’re doing the vintage distributor, maybe a generator/regulator would be more appropriate? Cons would be it’s not as simple or as easy to replace. The regulator is not solid state either. More expensive.

Berg shifter ordered. They said somebody just called and ordered the exact same thing before me.

I’ll order one. That’ll be a nice piece of jewelry. 👍

The engine is up next. Make sure the tin fits perfect and then pop it apart for paint. Silver fan shroud and black lowers.

What are you thinking distributor-wise? Bosch 009 tried + true? Maybe a cast iron Bosch 019 for vintage look? CB Performance magnaspark?

Breathing new life into old paint. Looks great!

The wheels and tires look sub-par now.

Like John said, I installed the hard lines and bleed the brake system today. The pan only needs the heater cables/controls and pedal assembly now.

I think you said something about a Gene Berg shifter earlier?

I welded up a stainless line to convert the dual circuit master to the stock reservoir.

Pan gasket installed with original-style tacks and glued the seams/corners.
