I talked to a couple different oliver guys over the weekend and they both said to get #1 at TDC and align the C marks, good deal already got that done.

Oil pump and distributer are installed, what a pain. The distributer is driven off the oil pump and can only be installed one way, I only had the oil pump and distributer off about 20 times each but the parts all line up now. Im ready to bolt on the pan and set the head on, hopefully this week.

If I'm thinking right the pump is driven by the distributor, which is driven by the cam. A long flathead helps align the pump drive with the shaft. I usually eye up where the drive will sit once it engages the cam and does a 1/8-1/4 turn. It can be tricky

I think she is saying let's get this thing finished so I can go for a ride.

She loves a tractor or lawn mower ride. She grins and giggles the entire time.

Close, The oil pump is driven off the cam which then drives the distributor. Whats your thoughts on Pertronix electronic ignition conversion? From what I have been reading the vacuum on these is a joke, looks like a good option to get rid of the vacuum.

Petronix is the only way to go. Dump the points and never look back.

Flywheel installed along with the front cover and the rear main. Should have the pan and head on this week.

Main problem I have now is the carb rebuild. I cant get the brass parts out of the cast iron body for gasket replacement.

A new Zenith carburetor is only $524.40 

Any guesses on removing it? Heat wrench? prayer?
