Spent the whole day with the 'vert. Cut and installed new heater hoses and cleaned and shined the weird parts that attach to them. Set the new Holley carb on top of the intake to see what it'll look like:
Poured 2 $10 quarts of Royal Purple into the distributor hole, which promptly flowed through the oil pan and onto the garage floor because I ASSumed that the rebuild shop had replaced the drain plug. Went to NAPA twice to get the right size plug (1/2"-20). Spent another $30 on Royal Purple and tried it again. This time it stayed in, so I spun the oil pump by hand a bit, and tracked down some vacuum lines and replaced them with new stuff.
Anybody recognize the thingy in the two photos below, as well as the steel "spacer" or whatever it is? The were in a bag, along with the ground strap, that I labeled "Rear Passenger Side (intake) manifold", and the tape on the vacuum line attached to it is labeled "Carb" and it has two electrical prongs on either side of the vacuum nozzle:
Thanks!
