You need some big chess pieces for that !!!
I never make the same mistake twice, I do it 5 or 6 times just to be sure !!!

It is too fat where my finger is
and while the fronts out i will fit a spreader

Not many people would have the courage to cut out that much so I am looking forward to seeing what you do to smooth it all out

Yeah. I've changed my signature. The old one was out of date...

Re: 38 ford coupe
Well finally got the new motor in , gearbox rebuilt now a problem with timing pointer, it is straight under the water pump. I think it has the wrong timing cover , anyway it goes.

Re: 38 ford coupe
Excellent that it is running.
Should be pretty easy to work out a new timing pointer after turning the engine over to TDC.
