Canada CS, eh?

It's starting to go back together. I decided to media blast and repaint the bolt on parts, because of oil, corrosion and some paint was missing in places. Oil pump and timing set have been replaced, and intake reinstalled. Tomorrow the timing cover, water pump, and distributor go back in. (I hope).

Looks awesome!! The heads look very clean in the rocker arm area. Were they that clean? Did it have the old fiber upper timing gear?

Not only will it be sealed up better, it is way prettier than it was also. Wish I were there to help and kibbitz with you.

Today is resurrect the boat for the summer day. I am a bit behind on that...

Arlie, when I bring up the picture, it shows 9:59pm time stamp. Are you sure your computer isn't still on Texas time? :grin:

Rob, would love to have you here "helping". Someone had been in there before. Heads were clean but the gaskets were hard and brittle. Timing set was all steel. Intake gaskets were FelPro.

Stephen, I'm leaving some stuff black, just so you won't be to shocked. :wink:

Progress for today. Starting to look more crowded in there. Timing cover and water pump on, new fuel pump, one valve cover installed. Left the other off for now to make it easier to access heater hoses for replacement. Tomorrow (hopefully) will be reinstall the oil pan, balancer and pulley, and maybe the hoses.

Something tells me the drive home is going to be a lot more fun than the drive down...

 

[rvrtrash]

More progress. Oil pan reinstalled, starter in, alternator hung in place, other valve cover on, heater hoses changed, but I need to see if I can find the correct 90 deg hose for the air cond. shutoff valve. Carb spacer in place. Harmonic balancer and pulley installed. Getting close. (and I certainly hope the drive home is uneventful)

Bro Steve,

Looks great!!! I was looking under the car and noticed how close it is to the floor. I walk under my cars!!! Neener neener!

Smart Ass Bro Rob

Smart Ass Bro Rob

I have the Boss sitting on my lift, and didn't feel like moving it (since it doesn't drive under it's own power yet), and most of the work is topside work anyway.

So there! Neener neener right back at ya Big Bro. :grin:

Another update on the Canada CS. I found a stripped out thread for one of the accelerator pump screws, so had to heli-coil that, then got the carb reassembled and installed. I rebuilt the A/C idler brackets with new bearings. One was a real pain in the backside to get apart, but they're all nice and quite now and reinstalled. Power steering pump is back in, as well as the newly rebuilt radiator. Waiting on a few small parts to arrive and it'll be ready to fire up and test.

Steve

By the way, I really liked the look of the idler with the bare metal center cap, but decided to paint it too at the last minute to avoid corrosion issues later on.

What is air conditioning? In Western Washington we have "4/90" air conditioning!! Four windows down at 90 miles an hour!!!

Rob

 

[mbsf1970]

Rob,
You clearly have better a/c in WA!!

I only have 4/60!! of course that may change soon........:wink:

Stephen

 

[CougarCJ]

The blue pulleys must be a Canadian thing, eh? :grin:

Rob

Don't forget the wing windows!

 

[rvrtrash]

It surprised me, but when I was media blasting the parts, they were all blue with not a trace of black, so I painted them the way they were. My CS had black pulleys, which is what I expected to find under the grime. Not so.

In western Wa, you need a dehumidifier more than an air conditioner!

Is that a concours bulldog clip I see in the last picture? :grin:

 

[rvrtrash]

Actually, it's a pretty clever idea. He has a piece of window screen clipped over the grill to keep bugs and such out of the grill and A/C condenser. I liked it anyway.

A 65 Coupe customer car I did a lot of work on. It sat for 20+ years. New as tank, fuel line blow down, carb work. New suspension in the front, auto rebuild, and a lot of trim refresh. Notice the Ring Brothers door handles. Not sure I like them, but they are very ergonomic! Had my detail expert buff her out. Runs great and is a nice car! I rebuilt a lot of her in the mid 1980's.



Another customer car. 4V 351 Cleveland not running well. Fixed some fast idle bracket problems and then fine tuned the carb to the timing. Installed an adjustable vacuum advance and will tomorrow fine tune the timing a bit more to add more initial and shorten the vacuum advance amount and its starting point in the RPM curve. It is already running much better. More fine tuning in the morning. This car is B E A "BEAUTIFUL"!!
