is that the same stuff you use at work?Got some new jb steel reinforced weldcoated those tabs all up and filled in the middle.

Something like that... except I have little itty bitty instruments to apply it with. This **** just came it on smear it with the finger and call it a day
Well it's "my show" with a great mind and set of eyes making sure I do things correct! It's all back together right now... well except for this... went to put on the steel braided fuel line. I read on here that it was a 1/4 NPT or a 3/8 NPT fitting... that was a lie, its definitely an inverted flare... when I take the tap and die set back to the store tomorrow I will see if they have a inverted flare fitting since I dont have one that is the right size so I can install that pretty line.

What are the odds ? Zero.
How did I know I'd get pointed to the correct parts? Lol. The metal hard line is not as pretty as the steel braided line...
definitely would have been cheaper though 
I thought about cutting my metal line with about 1.5in tube left on it essentially making my own "fitting." Same thing right?
Itty bitty my ***! I've had several crowns. They use the same gun I use to glue quarter panels on and fix fiberglass with. Tastes the same too.

That's funny! You are correct though, most of the dental materials taste like crap. I try to rinse all my patients mouths out real fast right after I put anything in there that way they dont have the nasty taste for to long.
tap tap tap grind grind grind. Should have been a dentist instead. lol
Well dentists during every recession get crushed financially if they dont have a tip top running business. Most offices have 70% overhead which is way to much. Right now I know tons of dentists struggling, but it should only be temporary.
Now about my damn fuel line haha. Jk. I'll go get the correct fitting in the am and get this pretty line on there so we can start and time this sucker tomorrow!
10-4. Screw them baffles. Hah
I got the baffles installed! It's going to be slow pouring when filling her up with oils
Just the right amount of shrapnel to get you a stroker.
They are all screwed in with gasket maker on the threads. Hopefully they dont cause me to get a stroker, cuz then I'd have to do a 360
Nothing wrong with a 360. Those 340 valve covers will bolt right on.They are all screwed in with gasket maker on the threads. Hopefully they dont cause me to get a stroker, cuz then I'd have to do a 360
Hey Doc. Do ya know what makes the 340 valve cover special?
Not really. I know they have specific wire holders and such for specific years and that's about it
That's about it.
It helps the wires clear the choke linkage for the 4 bbl carb.That's about it.
Doesn't look as nice as this! I need a longer stud for the carb/air filter though. Tomorrow all I have to do is drop in the radiator (2 minutes), yank that mechanical choke wire out of the grommet, install battery and attach the exhaust to the header collectors.
I also got some wire loom to clean up the wires on the firewall.

Looking real good DD.
Yowza, progress! Looks good, maybe take it out for a spin tomorrow?
A spin would be nice! It's been raining here like crazy but that won't stop me. As long as it isnt spilling any fluids I think we will be good!
That power steering pump sticks out like a sore thumb
