I ran the hot wire that originally went to the old coil to the hot on the hei. That's all I did, still runs on the key the old way. I still need to get cut to fit wires and make plug wire brackets. As for other electrical I adapted a chevy 1 wire alternator and I'm running the wire straight to the battery so no need for any of the old rectifier and made the wire harness much smaller.chad":biucz700 said:

""T" on the road draft tube"
I've read this twice this week on this forum and it is incorrect. T= 170. It was on my 170's road draft tube, T in a circle. Solid lifter engine. Did they make 200's with solid lifters?
144 = "N'
170= "T"

ok so Ive not really done enough lately but ive been try to do little things at least to make the car nicer and easier to work on.
removed the fuel tank, I'm going to need a new one obviously
pulled apart the bottom of the front seat and put in some maters pad and put on a free seat cover I got. doesn't mater because the track is rusted all the way forward and I'm going to probably have to take apart the whole seat to dislodge it just to drive it
took the head lights out and apart and had them sand blasted along with a few other parts like the fuel tank inlet tube and some hold downs for the seat. after sand blasting they were cleaned, heated, and painted with roll bar paint. also replacing all the screws and bolts I can remove with stainless hardware covered in anti-seize

been working on my truck lately, unfortunately it has to live outside right now but at least its getting work done.
I've still got to work on the coolant tubes and get rid of the bendy straw sections, they look like junk on it but right now its more about getting it running reliably
also got extra time the other day and wanted to check how the pistons are doing after a few cranks on my falcon, still just don't trust it quite yet since I bought it as "good" but the previous owner didn't even know they had a blown head gasket
its a bit hard to make it out by the picture but all 6 cylinders look clean as well as the pistons
got my new radiator yesterday and dropped it in, its not bolted down but is it supposed to be so close to the pulleys? at most ill have an inch between it and the water pump pulley bolts and the radiator

put the head lights in pretty late but that looks much better
painted a new master cylinder and installed and changed the bolts to stainless allens, going to have to do new lines though
passenger head light harness was bad, I didn't find the right gauge wire but this is close on the connector at least and well soldered
plug wires still look like junk and I think ill rebuild the engine after I get everything else where I'm happy but its a good start
went to pick up some parts from my storage barn I haven't been in for months, things are too dusty in there and needs cleaning
