LOL Thanks man. It's actually been a pretty mild January here in Cheyenne. If the wind would stop it'd be great. Yesterday got to 50 degrees, just had 55 mph winds to go with it.

I agree. That's why she's been covered up and plugged all week while the wind has been blowing.

Weather has been crappy and I've been TDY a lot but I got going again today. New cam is in and I'm slowly starting to piece everything back together. Only problem now is it's been so long I can't remember exactly where every bolt and vacuum line goes even though I organized it..

Well it took forever but all I have left to do is set the lash, hang the alternator, hold my mouth right, cross my fingers and pray she starts up without issue and leaks.

Good progress....don't get in a rush with the finishing touches. It's so easy to do.

I hear ya. I'll be out of town all week. First thing when I get back Friday I need to clearance the valve covers for the new rockers and then finish her up. I've waited this long, I'm not gonna rush it now.
