Stop in for a cup of coffee

Everyone have a good one, got to get moving, 8 thirty appointment then back on the mower for the last time this year
 
I booked a campground a couple of miles away from Carlisle and bringing the truck camper.
We stayed at a nice campground not far from the show.
Morning gang... couldn't get to sleep pondering a few engine assembly thoughts... ended up back in the garage until just after 2am. Slow start to the morning.

Just mocking things up... trying to figure out how the brackets attached was a puzzle... Pretty sure I got it. Had to resort to scrolling through car show engine photos I took last year.

Also began reading Karl's article on the carb and linkage mods for the LD-4B and a Holley. What a great resource this site is!

Gotta get a short workout in... got up late :BangHead:

I have always wondered which bolts came painted on the engine from the factory. Body seems like most of them that hang panels.
 
Ya, it's tough. You paint them separate and then mess em' up when you install them. I sprayed some paint in the can cap and touched up with a model car paint brush.

I like the contrast on the stainless bolts...(Thanks Wolfie) ... almost want to do black Intake bolts vice engine color

I did all stainless on mine also.. kit was pretty cheap but having to anti-seize everything sucked :)
