Might have a plastic time chain gear and it is shot? seriously if he does not know what he is doing have him leave it alone before a piston hits a valve.

Hey bartender!
Sounds like he just cant make it run. I'd bet a nice clean carb, some fresh rubber hoses and a few adjustments and it purrs.
OK I have to go to work. Not that I want to
You have to see what he has before making a offer the FSM is usually 50-75 on fleabay.

Hey bartender!
And if he's pumping 2+ year old gas through it, he's hurting more than helping.
100,000 miles on a 318. It has to be in good shape it is just broken in 
another worry
Good looking car though
All easy stuff that you can handle in a day!
maybe I will drop a 440 in it. It has been done you know. Gotta go!
Stay with the smallblock I have been there and wont be there again.
Decisions decisions.
Im at timing cover and oil pan on my 318.
Brackets i want black, cast parts in hemi orange. Confused.
After bead blasting and wire wheeling hardware ,bolts are ao shiny it seems a shame to paint them.
Cant make up my mind.

They're shiny now but without anything on them, they'll rust. I say get some high temp clear coat and leave then be
Black use appliance paint bolts are your call!

Thinking same thing. Clear everything after its assembled.
But im in a conundrum,as i know i will be installing,removing parts
Brackets and adjusting things as im putting car together. Im tempted to hold off painting until after i get it running. Then pull engine and paint.
Car in pieces,loose parts everywhere,piles of hardware and brackets.
A basket case i need to figure out.
When i repowered the ‘59 i had a plan,knew what went where.
This one, not so much.

Kind of wish I put mine in to bet the bugs worked out then pull it to take care of the details.
Where the hell did this come from?
Factory books were running about 50 bucks a piece last I looke - they're worth it. The little Chiltons and others rarely worth anything in my opinion. A few of the Haynes are useful but not worth much in dollar value.
I would have to see what all he has. Glad your happy wit those parts I sent you.
Trust Hoppy on the numbers - I haven't looked in years.
Factory parts books are usually valued higher as they are rare.
Mine for the 74 was 60 I believe. Yup always looking around for cores etc so I see a lot of other parts.
