Well i have managed to stockpile some more parts lol.

UPS showed up at my house today with my comp ultra pro mag 1.6 7/16 roller rockers.
went down to Bethel NC last weekend and picked up a 78-80 sport couple turbo hood so now i have an undamaged one. Also picked up a set of lower door panels to use my 6.5 components in my doors, front bumper fillers, all new door hinges and my trim clips. Always excited getting parts for the car. now to get over this little ailment and back to work on it here soon

Okay so switched to a 1.6 ratio comp ultra pro mag rocker which changed pushrod length to 7.300". cleaned everything up, installed new 7.300" .080" wall thickness chromemoly hardened 1 piece pushrods along with my comp ultra pro mag rockers. Valves adjusted, top end getting buttoned back up. Need to re prime oil system and fire it back up. hope to do so very soon.

Re: MEBE007's 80 Regal Build Thread w/ Carnage

Lines match perfectly because it is a 78-80 only hood

WooHoo she lives again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

after work today i primed the oil system once again and stabbed the distributor in. Got it right on the first try lol. fired it off and man does it sound good. no broken parts this time with the right pushrod length.

for some reason i lost quality on the upload


now all i have to do is finish hooking up the electric fans and figure out this msd digital ecurve distributor. its still set on a locked out timing curve. so i have to set total timing first the choose my curve. then tune the carb. then clean up some wiring and put the interior back in. finally getting there.
