    Thanks! It is great to see it all come together. I have always been pretty good at tearing things apart, LOL! I did not static time it but the guy who put the block back together after the machine work said that he had set the points, whatever that means. I may need to get a clrification from...

    I am having a real good time putting the motor in the 70, have almost all of the wiring completed. I took a lot of pictures of the process of breaking it all down and have a lot of reference material. Should have taken better notes as to the steps of how everything came apart. Ex amount of...

    Trying to find the torque spec for the flywheel nut on a k161, thanks in advance for the answer.

    bringing home a 70 is a tad insane

    Kind of a blank canvas at this point, lots of potential.

    I started this project on March 2d and am pleased to post my latest pics of my progress as of today. I painted the hood and the seat on Wednesday and was really pleased with how they turned out.

    Slowly but surely I am making progress, I did get a zerk tapped into the front axle, thanks Dave S for your assistance! Paintwise I have the hood to do yet and then the engine block and some small stuff. For the most part I am pleased with my paint. I have not painted anything that I cannot live...

    Wiring for 70

    I am but I cannot determine their gauges, call me challenged I am guessing there are 3 different guages involved. The loom is completely rotten and some of the wire are brittle, I figured it would look a lot nicer with a new wiring job.

    What guage wire makes upthe bulk of the wires for a 70? I have lots of wire and cannot see spending what it costs for a new harness.

    Not a loose fit I have to tap it in place the last 1/8". Where did you place the zerk on your axle?

    Iowa 70

    Yes you did and that is a great suggestion, I fianlly got he channel straightened out so that the pins goes in and out a lot easier.

    Shot the last of the yellow this morning, overall pretty pleased with my efforts. I know that do to my inexperience I used twice as much paint as someone that knows what they are doing. I also know that I needed a lot more light than what I had. All I have left to paint now is the hood which is...
