Looks good, Barb! Best part is the distributor in the front where you can reach it.

Hey Barb Just a qwuik question, when you had your valve covers off did you remove the excess casting material. It's around the openings on the inside of the head I had to do that on my 472 and it greatly improves the oil flow thru the engine. It's just papper thin in there and pops right out. You probably already did it, I was just checking.

Hey Barb; How is the hand doing now?
Hope the fingers are alright.
Kurt

we are in the capital of the south.

A little something called "The Mason Dixon Line". You must have been asleep in American history classes.

you guys are crazy.

Not crazy, it just blows my mind that so many of the younger generation are so ignorant or misinformed on American history.

more recent years, has put schools cramming in a lot more history than before ( lots on other countries ).. but even so. I learned about the Mason Dixon line in 4th grade social studies, and IIRC it was on a state test that year, but it was a looong time ago..

know what you mean. kids are not taught the basics these days. just what is going to be on the state test.

i did not think when i made my post but perhaps that part of history is not covered anymore .. it`s been 40 years since i saw a history book
