Re: 1972 Cheyenne Restoration

506, yes I believe thats right.

We have been busy tonight rebuilding the dizzy and the alternator. Trying to plan out our saturday.. The motor and tranny are going in this weekend if we can get everything in order. I forgot to take pictures, so you will all have to trust us that we did all this.

Yes we wear gloves in the shop..The alternator is just low pressure bead blasted and clearcoated with flat gloss.

I can't believe noone commented on the dark orange harmonic balancer... we fixed it right after the pix.
