Default Time for a change

The 55 got new pipes and series 40s this summer along with a 346 posi and 4 wheel disc brakes. I've got my Comp thumpr cam, new pushrods, and timing set. Its getting to be the season to lay the car up a while. I'm going to pull the front cap and sent it to the body shop while I get the cam swapped out. I also have front end work to do and it going to be easier without the cap. I'll keep everyone posted as to my progress or lack of. Thanks in advance for all your help.
