Just messing with you, friend.  :2thumbs:
That is great that the car still had it. The best I ever did was having the original engine.

you need to get a Gano inline screen for the upper Rad hose, if not it will plug up your new radiator.

Well balancer & timing cover are off now. As I suspected. Origin nylon covered cam gear still in there 53 years later.  Amazing it's still in tact. Chains a little loose so glad I made the decision to crack her open.  Cover and front seal were both leaking pretty good.  Chance to get it sealed up right.  She ran really well for 53 year old time capsule with a ticking time bomb timing chain .

 You might think about replacing the cam while you have the timing chain off, and maybe go for a holley 4 barrel.  :Twocents: :shruggy:

Getting ready to send my wiper motor to topher  to fix the park in it  .  It works  just the wiper stop where ever you turn the switch off  .   He says its a easy fix and will keep my original  patina  ,

He also has a buddy who is going to do the same for my alternator  it still charges but is weak and has left me stranded a couple time when i have my headlamps on it cant keep up .
