After a full day in the garage the intake has been R&R and I am almost done. My back gave out before I could finish buttoning everything up.
Another secret no one shared: the distributor will rotate the oil pump as you pull the distributor. There is no way to get the distributor right back down where it came out. You have to jump up on the fender and almost mate with the car to peek down into the distributor hole and rotate the oil pump counterclockwise and GUESS how far to rotate it to get the distributor back down. It will take a few tries if you have never done it before. Then you need to use that funny looking distributor bolt wrench that most old time mechanics have in the toolbox. What a stupid design. It is a good thing they have not built many small block Chevy motors.
If any of you need me to re-seal your intake on a SCB engine just bring it by my house. I charge $9,000 plus parts cash up front. As soon as my assistant Bigfoot that rides the Unicorn shows up we will get started on it.
