So Finally got the Brakes done. The passenger side brake line sheared off when trying to undo the fitting. So I had to re run a brake line under the engine on in the factory spot. talk about a PAIN!! The new brake line I bought from Autozone was this armor coated kind Bends Really Easy, but it is a tad bigger then 5/16 so in the flaring tool I had to end up filing a bit of the coating off so it would seal in the flare. This took the longest time trying to route and flare the line. Started to bleed the brakes and had a Massive Pressure leak. anyone that does brake work make sure you have a line wrench sso you can really torque it down just enough so you have no leaks. All good! no leaks and they stop great. Did the break in procedure to seat the pads. Still have to adjust the rear drums which I didnt even do yet so it has more of a nose dive than it should at the moment.
For the last couple days I have worked on getting the ignition system complete. The MSD is really top notch stuff. Here is a pic again of the components I installed
Thanks to this forums I searched an found out about not using the resistor wire and wired the IGN wire directly under the dash in the IGN fuse. Also ground is VERY important. I had an issue with the system cutting out and I had the ground from the dizzy to the firewall where the strap for the block went. No go. One Thing I have learned so far is these cars like dedicated grounds for Accessories etc.
Here is a pic of the hole before I stabbed it and cleaned the old gasket.
Also here is the Box before I wire loomed everything.
So when I got it running it wouldnt turn off. THANKS again to this forum search I found I needed the diode on the number 4 brown wire off the voltage regulator.
I couldnt find any info on timing marks, but I set it to the second from the top. all done with the vaccum advance capped off. Runs AWESOME. Cranks AWESOME!
Next on the list is a new Jet performance stage 2 carb, Classic Auto Air engine upgrade kit, clutch fan, lower filler panel, electronic temp gauge, front spoiler.
