I'd rather see pics of the Greater Made Chevrolet in the driveway!

Nice working conditions

I used to roll around in the dirt, I upgraded and got a few 4x8 sheets of aluminum.

So due to no local shop able to press the iron gear off and the new one on, we fabbed up a jig, porta powered the old one off, did some fancy measuring and drilled one hole the new gear, installed it, drilled through the off side of the new gear and pinned it.

4.000” - dead on target.

OTC 7503

I use the Kent-Moore/OTC tie rod puller and a socket to pull the gear. Works great for us hacks.

To check if the gear is in the right place on the shaft, install the distributor in the block, then while holding the body down you should be able to pull up on the shaft at least .005". Holding the shaft down, you should be able to lift the body. Since those distributors usually have a lot of endplay, I try to split the difference between the two measurements.

any fire yet?
no stripper glitter

 

[SteveTX]

I haven’t seen a video of any yet.

 

[Bluteam]

They're probably at lunch.

 

[Patriot Racer]

They finished checking spring tension and are setting valves now. I’m not sure what else is left, but I was told, we should have fire within a couple of hours.

They are taking their time and checking everything.
