Spun the motor up pretty good a few weeks ago and blew up the distributor cap and rotor. Now it has a back fire / misfire like 1500-3k RPM's. Probably broke something in the points? I might swap to an HEI distributor and see if that fixes it.Quote:

Ignition shit is sorted. Little piece of metal floating around in the points screwing everything up. Put a new HEI in it and away we go.

Broke a rear trans mount, replaced both yesterday. The motor has slowly been shifting down and rear word to the point the distributor was leaning on the firewall. I should have done this months ago, really happy with how the motor and trans sits in the chassis now.
My headers are shot. They're next on the list.

That trans mount has seen better days
Bought some metal from CARS.

1955 Lower Front Quarter Panel Section Left Hand
That car is looking cooler and cooler!
Thanks OJ! Really torn on what to do when I get the new metal in it. Considering a quick and dirty paint job, but honestly I might just linseed oil it and let it patina again. I feel like it will lose its history if I paint it, if that makes any sense.Quote:
