John; I'm shooting for may,might even be earlier.Next winter it's going for A body revamp and possibly the interior,I would love to do it now,and would be the best time since it is already stripped but will get it road worthy first. Bye for now, Mark M

Dick; You are correct,I meant to say crank pulley,the balancer is the thick heavy one.I have the pointer with the two bolts and hash mark on the crank pulley,maybe the scale on the pulley was used for degree/assembley purpose,I don't know.Thanks for the input. Mark M

Roger; Some things are going to be my own idea,it is hard to stay with the factory,I have seen some differences depending what factory they where built,your right about the ivory.My biggest challenge is going to be the interior(probably next winter) the car exterior is going to be flame red/white,bu...
