Re: Project 1966 K20 adventure rig

Thanks Ray.

Lots done lately. Exhaust manifolds, starter, spark plugs gapped and installed. Spun the oil pump for a sustained oil pressure of 60 psi. Set engine at tdc and installed the distributor.

Also did a test fit of the new radiator. The old one is a brass & copper three core and the new one is aluminum with two large tubes. But the overall size of the new one is like a 4 core, so it didn't fit the three core lower saddles. In my stash I had two 4 core lower saddles, so I changed them out. It pays off to prowl the swap meets. I also had to move the passenger side inward a 1/2 inch to clear the water outlet.
