Andy,

You found this one in Kingwood? Must have been tucked away in someones garage. Cool find. If you were still up in Kingwood, I would love to help out. Hope to see it up at the shop...

ITS ALIVE! I got the car running and driving. I also got it inspected today. I am going to hang around the shop this evening and install some new seals and small things like that.

Well the engine started running poorly yet again. I am pretty sure the cam is going flat. The rocker arms on #3 cylinder keep going out of adjustment and the engine is making a pretty loud ticking noise.

I am going to freshen up the engine that was in the car when i got it in the mean time and run it. I got it torn down last night and found out that it had 88mm slip ins that were past their time. I am going to go back with a set of stock p&c's or possibly 87's. Should have the engine together tonight and hopefully have the other engine out of the car tonight.
