i really like those valve covers, are they chromed or just amazingly polished?
Street car and how are you going to pass MA emissions! If i could pass with a lot of mods i would throw a turbo on.
Why are you taking the motor apart already??? Wasn't it just built?
I haven't had the best luck with the MSD's either, if you have a ARP oil pump drive shaft in the motor becareful and make sure you check the clearance, I usally have to trim up the dist to get proper clearance. One reason I switched to a Ford Racing shaft on customers stuff, it has a longer relief.
