Here's hoping your not going to keep that distributor cap on there.  ;D

Re: 72 Square back build
whats wrong with a black distributor cap?

The worst performance mod is whatever you're limited to because you convinced yourself (or others) that anything bigger or faster was too extreme for a street car.

Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding ^^^^ :D Give the man a prize!!! It would be a shame to run an "Every Mistake Passes Inspection" cap on a newly rebuilt engine. But there is nothing technically wrong with it (we assume).

I get a prize!!!! sweet! lol
Yeah I mean coming for working as a tech in a dealership I have seen many times first hand how cheep parts and cause a major headache Not only for the owner but also for the tech.

I have had more cap and rotor issues then any one person alive should have to deal with. I mean one crack in the cap can cause that spark to jump to the wrong plug......and all i know is that is not going to help my motor run any better lol.

The Whole point in this build is to go back to stock on this motor. I have even ditched the Air filters and picked up a stock air box. I am totally going for reliability with this build.

Wow, that roof looks amazing!  Did you wet sand it? Use a buffer?  Polishing compound?

Re: 72 Square back build
ok so your going to hate me......lol

so i started with a 2.99 thing of polishing compound and hand did the roof with just the semi gloss spray paint on it for about 4hrs.

then i quick detailed it.

Then i used just regular car polish for and polished it for about 2hrs.

then two coats of wax and there you go lol.

I dont think this should have worked so well  ;D

Re: 72 Square back build

but still a great improvement!
