The new lifters I got did work OK for me. However one of them is frozen up and the plunger will not move. So Gary is sending me another to replace it.
So I think I'll go ahead and put the engine in the car. I get the poly on the hoist and off the stand and go to mount the flex plate and discover (duh) that the flex plate for my 9.5" torque
converter doesn't work on my 11 stock converter :-( So I can't install the engine until I remedy that issue. I do have my original flex plate but it'll have to be balanced.
I can't finish the carb yet either as the kit won't arrive until tomorrow and then I hope it's the right one. I'm running out of time so things need to get going here. Aug 17th is the parade and Aug 24-25 is the Geezer drags. Now I will run LeRoar at the drags one time more to see how the stock configuration runs compared with when I first bought the car. Except it'll still have the 3:90 rear gears till I can get them changed
out.
Yeah and to help things out my hip went out on me yesterday after a marathon yard mowing. Dang it!
