If you have the stock timing pointer and marks, you actually can see them BUTT, ya hafta put the timing light near vertical, and mash your head up against the firewall window and look directly down.......
It can be done!!!
Those new blue reusable gaskets for Holleys work very well!
COOOOOL!!!!!!! Getting closer!!!

Seriously? I'll have a look, but i didn't see any obvious sightline... If I can get my old borescope working that might help... The new roller cam changed my firing order!!! I was surprised about that...
My list has a ton of "to do's"... Which includes shifting the engine over toward the passenger side... Water pump idler pulley is about 2mm from the firewall padding... Also have to figure out what is up with my oil pressure gauge... It's not showing anything at all... I pulled the gauge and ran a short to the signal terminal and it pegged... Seems to respond fine... Also put a VOM on the sensor and it seems fine... Will jumper the gauge directly to the sensor tomorrow to isolate gauge OR wiring... I'm hoping it's wiring !!!
If I need to rebuild the carb I'll look for the holley blue seals... It's a 4150 holley... So no worries there...l
I haven't pulled the radiator cover yet to look for an air bleeder... So far I've gotten just under 2 gallons in her... 1 gallon antifreeze & almost 1 gallon distilled water...
I'm having a blast... (my bank account, not so much)...
I'll post a video of her running once I got mufflers on her and a decent idle... Right now she sounds like a drunken grizzly bear...
I appreciate the help, insight, warnings and patience...
