78 Update

It hasn't been a great week for getting things done but I just have to install the rad and fill up the fluids and with any luck it will fire right up. Oh, and pictures to follow latter today.

i might take you up on it when my EGR plate comes in. i'd like to make a day of getting the valve cover gaskets changed, intake/carb on, and the inaugural run. also want to change and flush all fluids, and wash the engine down.

sorry for hijacking your thread Colin!!
