Started off my morning reinstalling the harmonic balancer. Set it on TDC, adjusted #1 intake and exhaust. Then rolled it over a few times, no PTV clearance issues. Ran the rest of the valves, installed the intake manifold, and put the valve covers back on. I finished my day by lining up the oil pump shaft and dropping the distributor in.
Made some progress, will try and wrap up the rest on Tuesday.
I also took some time to help the old man dig through the shed full of parts. Found lots of good stuff, and put the spare Monte Carlo deck lid I had on. It fits like a glove, I'm amazed at how good the body line are.
