So I started a new project today.It is RM's '67 Pro Street Chevelle.  So far I have got all the parts that are going to be "Fiery Orange" primed.   I don't know if you can see them but I've also primed the bumpers. |

So I have a little progress to report.I have the motor assembled minus the headers and wiring.    If someone could post where to locate the holes for the wires I would really appreciate it. Thanx for lookin'. Jeremy |

Jeremy, I am far from being an expert but here is one way to tackle it. I would at least mock up where the headers go. This way you will know where to route the wires. It looks like the spark plugs would go in between the header pipes. Once you have the headers on it may be hard to see where the plugs wires "end up" anyhow.
If you can, do an internet search for pics of real engines. That will be your best source for where everything goes.
Keep us posted on your progress and good luck!

So the motor is now completed.I used a Detail Master distributor with orange wires.   I don't think this project will see paint this year because it started snowing today and it doesn't look like its going anywhere.Plus I don't have the space to store a paint booth.But I will keep my progress posted until all I have left is paint and assembly. Thanx for lookin' Jeremy |
