After finding an issue with the hold off valve, I changed it out and got all the brakes bled today. Next, I played around with shifters and although the Ram Rod is pretty cool and in great condition (almost NOS appearing), I'd likely tire from it after a weeks use on the street and swap it out for an H pattern. Therefore, I won't be using this shifter and will patch up the hole for use a short throw Super Shifter. Also ran the 383 motor today to get it lubricated before getting it ready to go into the car tomorrow. Gotta keep banging away at it now.

Wink Lubrication...

I like the liquor bottles on the work bench, they are for lubrication needs I assume

Yes, those are strictly lubricants. The rum seems to lubricate better than the whiskey, so we use the Crown Royal for parts cleaner. Which parts I cannot say.

Graeme,

What did you use for a grommet for the breather on the driver side valve cover? My PVC is in that hole...what is in the passenger side? Is the breather for small block of big? I want to take off the hose for the air cleaner and put a breather there instead. Have the same covers on mine.
