Distributor is back...all nice and new!


started changing out the spark plug wires..they were new but not correct



good thing we changed them..this one was cut almost half way thru by the shield!

and whose idea was all those shields!..running those plug wires was interesting to say the least.
will be fun putting them all back on again.

Here is the coil wire that had been cut and put back together..twisted and taped!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]..come on!




have to reinstall the TI box and she shoould fire up...cant wasit to hear this one run right!!..350 350 should be a healthy mouse! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

I love 69 L46's, not having an Aluminum intake and Holley leads to their lack of recognition thus turning out to be a great buy for someone looking for a nice Early 3rd Gen small block runner... if they would have only utilized or optioned the BB hood.

Great Job Al... Lots of fun and Pulled Hairs on this on.. Brought back the hands of time for Me..
Being a Previous Vette owner as well . Wiring is a Major issue as well.. Wiring and Grounds Played a Big factor as well !!
Sounded great today when you fired it up !!! Rusted Parts and age effect us all Green wires and poor splices don't work well , and complicate issues...
1 more day , and It will Jerk the tires ;-)

LOL Albert... Its nice to be appreciated.
A lot of the late 60's and early 70's seem to be a tad bit Blurry..
Not sure if it was Car speed and octane fumes or What.. But I get those flashbacks to remember the important things. The rest is feel .

Having this Helped ....

Well the car is home again; Albert and Joe just dropped it off and I cannot thank them enough for everything that they did. The car has never run better.
This is an early Christmas present to myself; I can't wait to take her out for a nice long drive.

Albert / Joe, thank you once again for offering your services. In the eight years I have owned the car it has never run like an L46 should. I spent good money taking it to Corvette &quot;specialists&quot; and each one did nothing but take my money. You two are true car enthusiasts and treated my car as if it was your own; I can't thank you enough.
