The finished engine

Finally on Sunday night about 8 o'clock we finished!

This is what we did:

1. Inlet Manifold


2. New Gaskets


3. Sump Plug


4. Core Plug - this was the worst!


5. Oil Change


6. New Oil Filter


7. Steering Wheel - we had it changed to a racing wheel last year because John couldn't get his knees under the original one - he is tall! The garage put the new one on squint so we straightened it!


8. New Air Filter


9. Changed the Points to an Electronic Ignition


10. New Distributor Cap


11. New HT Leads


12. New Spark Plugs


13. New Coil


14. Electrics


15. New Alloy Wheels and Tyres


16. New Chrome Rocker Covers


17. New Chrome K and N Air Filter (John is very excited about this - I don't know why?)

And finally putting some air in the new tyres! Jess has given up hope of us ever finishing and has gone to sleep!

The finished engine!!! Lots of chrome that I now have to polish. As you can see I haven't done it yet! The only thing left to do is the spacing on the tappets and to take the car for a test drive to make sure everything works. Wish us luck!
