Not much to report. I have been waiting on more parts to get a good start on the headers, exhaust, and parts to finish the entire fuel system.
I did get some threaded spuds made on the lathe to weld to the radiator trim to mount the grille shell.
I spent 2 hours tonight sanding and polishing the thermostat housing. GM cast shines up decent.

Radiator is finished along with the overflow tube and the grille mounting.
Also this bad boy arrived.
Also started on the headers. The start of the primaries are 1.750" on the shortest run it is 8.75" and the longest it is 9.125" then they step to a 1.875" then go into the collector. All the steps are hidden by the frame rail to try to keep the number of visible welds down. I have about a 12% length difference from the longest to the shortest primary. I wanted it closer to 10% but the space I have dictates where the tubes can go.

WOW, that looks great! How many hours do you think it took you to get to this point?

Headers look perfect, and the welds are primo! Showing my ignorance, what is the yellow & black "bad boy" shown in picture #7 of post #38? I see "Outlet", "Vent" and "Return" connections, and a pair of electrical connections. The yellow appears to be foam?Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Wow! Very impressive build!
Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
