Downloaded new firmware to the Holley sniper system. Looked at it, a lot. Thought about all the other things I want to do to it. That’s pretty much it.

Spent about 2 hours checking gap on the rings. Pre gapped, but its one of those things that would bug the hell out of me for not checking. top were all .016, 2nd were all .018. good enough for me.
also torqued the main caps down. Tomorrow rings will be on pistons and after double checking bearing clearance on the rods (already did the mains, .002 on the dot. digital calipers and plastigauge confirm it) and it will become a short block. Dumbass machine shop closed at 3pm on Friday so I have to wait until wednesday to pick up the heads. :-[ Once I get my cam, I can rob the timing cover off of my other motor as well as the intake, carb, water/fuel pump and dizzy, etc., and this engine will be complete.

It was warm enough for a bit to final prep and paint the console trim pieces. Let them cure inside for a bit, then trimmed out with silver. Hope to finish them later, for now...

I moved my malibu and cougar from storage to my house to sit in the garage. Now i will be able to work on them at anytime of the day or night with no issues of weather. Up coming weeks will have my el camino at my house also then to finally enjoy driving it.
