65 Barracuda daily driver
Over the weekend I drained and removed the radiator and hoses, removed the fan, water pump, fuel pump, pulleys, harmonic balancer, timing cover and the chain itself.
The old chain had not as much play as I thought or as the distributor rotor indicated.
I wanted to make sure those plugs were in there:
I don't have a drill press so I attempted to drill the bolt with my regular drill. The regular drill bit did nothing, so I got a cobalt one that worked really well.
Here it is installed with the drip tab:
There was a little oil leak coming from the fuel pump, because the threads were pretty stripped. So I put some helicoils in there.
I still have to put the new chain on and put it all back together.
