pulled the top end today. Water pump had a leak and when i pulled it the bottom had a quarter size hole in it. The valve train looks fresh and i have new parts coming in the next week, water pump, gaskets, thermostat, hoses, etc.

Trying to decide on an intake/carb setup. When i pulled the carb and spacer today both gaskets were soaked with gas all the way through. The Holley carb doesn't fit on the 1975 intake without the spacer.


Also by tonight or tomorrow my pop is going to show me how to replaced and repacked the inner and outer bearings on the front since there were shot.
