Brief Update: found the door handle keepers and discovered that the one the Barrio Bros. had used was too small (DUH) so I put the correct size on and snapped her in place. Also flushed the radiator today and from the looks of the fluid, I'm not in as bad a shape as I thought I was - - - it was light green with very little floaties swimmin' around in it. Gonna pick up a 180 thermostat tomorrow and, if Speedway will ever answer my question about the Taylor plug wires, I should get them ordered this week sometime. Who knows NAPA may have what I want on the thermostat trip tomorrow ????

It's all starting to come together, cranks good and idles good and I'm hoping I will be able to get by with a shroud only for the Texas Summer Heat Cruises. Can't wait to get the engine bay cleaned up and looking correct without all the extra hoses, mega-long plug wires lying on the manifolds and Red Green fixes to contend with.

Hope everyone had a great weekend and thanks,
Em
