Look at Sealed Power Timing set CTS-1005

Sealed Power makes Cloyes

the set is Made in USA and is less than 40 buxx

This looks exactly like what I've acquired.

Finally had some spare time with the insanity that is work since November.
I put the headlight hardware into the classic industries header panel.

But I wasn't finished there. I mounted the header to see if the tabs I added helped close the Grand Canyon size gap between the header panel and passenger fender.

That's about as good as its going to get. Its better but I started with a 3/8's of and inch gap FFS.

Ive said it before and Ill say it again. The Classic industries GN header panel is a total DISAPPOINTMENT.
1/10 would not recommend

Got the font end mostly back on the car.
Im not sure if I want to use the supplied "mounting hardware" and "rivet the grill to the fiberglass using supplied brackets" according to the instructions.

why is it so hard for a company to make a decent effin header.

Put new push pins in the lower door panels, cleaned them up and installed. Lower panels all set up, uppers I'm still torn on. I love the look of the Cutlass panels I got but they need refinishing to match the interior color now. I have the original Monte uppers that I can put on for now but the AZ was not nice to them and the tops are purple instead of maroon. Might wait til I get sweeps and just recover the Cutlass ones like I want and be done. Hate to pull off those panels more than I have to, even with new push pins installed. Also found that my power lock relay wasn't grounding correctly and causing them not to function correctly. Rebent the little edges that touch the body and put a washer and they work great. Grounding is such a big part of that system. Very finicky.

Tightening hose clamps. Chasing coolant drips. Ugh.

Before and after on the Blazer brake upgrade cleanup. I got the setup from JAMCAR223 and have put off cleaning them up until now. We dont get much rust out here but I still wanted to spray some paint on them to protect the bare metal. Those have one coat of paint, will do a second or third and be done. Knuckles are next.
