why do you want to pull the dampner?....you will need specialty tools to re-install correctly....and if you don't really know what your doin it might pay to keep it as simple as you can and spend more time with the scrub brushes and gunk and masking tape off than takin on more than your prepared to at this time!...

Replacing it wit chrome. I got the tools today, lol.

Well here is my progress thus far:

Cleaning the engine (my step-dad in pic):



In Primer:



Intake Stripped/Cleaned and Painted (aluminum):



Intake and Engine Preview (with OLD Valve Covers):




I'm going shopping next week for all my new parts and supplies to complete the project! Then I'll start in on the tranny (350 Turbo) and then the bodywork!!! Before long my '66 is gonna love me, lol!

P.S.- I appreciate all of the help and so forth! It is really pointing me in the right direction and I'm confident that whatever problems I encounter you all will help me overcome...... lol!

They make a sleeve kit, which puts the surface of the seal area back to new shape. I have used these quit a bit. They all will groove the surface some. Normal wear thing.

I REALLY appreciate it! I got it all jotted down and tomorrow I'm gonna give er' a go, lol! Can't wait to see the completed black block with Chrome accessories!

if it doesn't drop all the way in you need to take a long screw driver and line up the oil pump slot with that of the distributor end slot.. Ed ke6bnl
