Which dist is that? I'm goign to get the 85805 for the vic jr's, how is the mech advance doin? I dont know how well the factory curve will match my big heavy car

It is a MSD Billet. Not the pro-billet. I have not messed with the advance yet. probalby wont since with the new heads ill have to be carefull about detonation.


Just picked up a new starter. It is a Powermaster Mastertorque. 180 ft/lbs of torque, weighs about 5#s and will crank 12:1 compression.

Saturday me and my brother went to a guy we know's house. We got a ton of parts.

a Chevy 350 short block, just needs bearings
a 302 block and crank
a set of E7 heads
a powder coated mustang upper and lower intake, and valve covers
a big box full of Mustang wiring sensors, and a computer
a 55mm Turbo off a Caterpillar diesel (gonna go on my 85 eventually)
and a powder coated 3G alternator.

I swapped out my junkyard alt for this one, car starts better and belt does not squeel anymore. Had to replace the belt that had become paper thin.

Here is the alternator. Apparently when it was re-assembled the case was clocked differently, so now the terminals are facing the distributor, makes it a bit cleaner install.



And two general under hood shots. You can see the new 10.4mm Trick Flow spark plug wires.
