Nice looking piece Warren.

Did you get your rear main seal swapped out?

Nice Warren! Did you happen to video it running? I'd love to hear it.  8)

Did you dyno it Warren? You're going to be calling me a copycat in a few months, just received Stellings & Hellings air filters and chrome pent roofs for this 428. Waiting on pistons from Barry and then it should be going back together.

Looks great, Warren!! Nice attention to detail, and old school is cool 8)  I wish I could get a good look at the car when it's done. You've certainly put a lot of effort into it.

Question: what are you going to use the big port on the filter adapter for?

I'm rolling the dice on the rear main seal Brent. I had two small drips after the cam break-in and some initial running. I took off the flywheel and saw a very small wet area at the base of the seal. I put it back together and went thru my carb tuning and no leaks (so far).

It may be foolish on my part but we are gonna put it in and hope for the best. I need to get the car out of my friends shop for a while to make way for other work and I'm not bringing it back without the engine in it (the front cap is still here with the engine).

The engine will not be dynoed but Barry has put this combo together before so I should be able to get a good ballpark from him.

I'm using the dual port oil filter adapter so I can keep the idiot light functionality and run an electric oil pressure gauge.

Here are two videos, one during the break-in run and one at idle. I discovered a wiring error on my part with the tachometer that was affecting the primary voltage to the coil (also burned up the tach).

That explains the wisp of black smoke you see at idle. Once I corrected that, a fresh set of plugs  and used my Snap-On Dwell Meter/Tachometer. cleaned up and ran great. ww
