The scary thing is the cam sprocket is aluminium and nylon !

I had a 318 Mopar years back, that also had the same type of Cam sprocket. I wondered why it wouldn’t start one day. Found it had striped a couple of the nylon teeth. New chain & steel socket fixed that problem

Good news to hear you are on the road to a full recovery

Grace is my mate Colin’s daughter, she’s a very talented fabricator & welder. Loves her car & racing, she used to do the clutch in one of the funny cars, but mainly crews for Don these days

At least it’s only your time & not a shops time, I’d hate to think of the bill

Progress looks great from the photo updates

Wow, that’s a tough one to take again…..

Headers are a strange thing to fab for me, never sure how I’m going to do it, then I decide, then half way through I find a better idea, then again I will make another change. I’m generally happy at the end :D

As you say, once the steering side is done, the other side always seems a breeze ...

Glad to see your still pushing on, progress is great, definitely going to be a stunner

BUGGER!!! the timing set is boxed wrong. part number's right on the box so i can't blame the 'picker' at rock auto, but this small block chevy timing set just won't fit the ford fe engine :(
i just ordered a replacement, this ones an edelbrock true roller set on 'clearance' so actually cheaper ...

I appreciate it’s a long time, but the results show it was worth it…

At least now you get to enjoy working topside for a while

Best news ever

Infuriating for sure, probably best to just walk away…

And looking mighty fine underneath, steering box came out nice too. Keep it up

Only £26 a bottle

It may be OK, make sure it’s not too soft, that it wants to collapse. As you have some already, it’s not a big deal to try it & keep an eye out for signs of collapsing. In the interim look to get proper vacuum hose

More fabulous work, when I see the amount of work you have completed, it makes me feel guilty

Great progress as usual, I look forward to the next update
