I started to make the plug wires and screw it together today. Waiting on different terminal ends for the distributor side of the wires (wasn't impressed with what came in the set).

I've got to dig through my collection of junk shielding to see what I have for the plug shielding. I just laid the F.I. unit on there for now

Starting to look like nothing ever happened

The trans is here, the shifter is adjusted (installed the 65 shifter arms for a shorter throw), and now everything is installed or at least mocked up. I suspect an install is in the cards today or tomorrow.

FYI, the drivers side vertical ignition shield you installed is a 1963 shield, 64 thru 67 all the same.

This project is coming to an end (at least for now). I replaced all of the suspension bushings along with all new ball joints, tie rods, idler, etc. The timing is set, engine is tuned, brakes are bled, and all appears to be working as it should. Put the hood on, get it aligned, get the parts store alternator out of it, and start cranking on some miles. Should be a fun summer!

The whole car has a wonderful patina! To the OP, I'm glad you didn't try to "improve" it.

I agree with Jim. It would fill my ideal of a outstanding driver with out the worry of scratching it up.

Ha! Yes, as I have 3 I can understand the question, it is the white/tan one with the J65 brakes. The black/silver one is not for sale at this time.
