Build Thread My Never Ending 89 Notch Thread

[TOOLOW91]

Messed around after work .
Not knowing where the timing truly was today I messed with the distributor . Re dropped it in again . After cranking and basically killing the battery I got one last hoorah out of it . I ran the car locked the timing in the Holley to 10 deg and bam got the timing set . Sounds even more crisp then it did . Shut it off and went to unlock the timing again and batt was dead . I’ll have to charge it at work tomorrow .

Mocked up the bumper with the old header panel . Did some trimming for the trans cooler . Ready for paint Sunday.

Using old header panel to spray . New one will be black like it should be .

Also the serp belt started to stretch which is what I was afraid of with the way I had to modify the tensioner cuz of the pump location . So now I put a 80.5 inch belt which I had to roll on the motor . Then get creative to get the tensioner back on . The belt should be super tight now and no squeak

So with the belt being so tight, how will that affect the #1 main bearing over time?

After the stretch should be fine anything bigger is too lose once it stretches .
