Sorry ladies and gentlemen, not been following this chat today. Been working on my restoration thread, just finished decoding the fender tag. And been renaming a lot of pictures so it is possible to find out what picture is what without having to open them. The pictures will be posted in due time with text.
Hope everyone is ok, and that the Manitoba sledge has not damaged the piston.
Nope, i dropped clutch cover,and went at it with a good pry bar and it started rolling. So i kept at it. Cleaned switch on starter and cranked it over. 3 intake valves left to unstick and maybe attempt to fire it. It was an awesome day!!
