With the posi it uses both sides, so I have equal wear on the tires. Lol

Sounds strangely familiar. Keep at it.

Got the pan off, went over EVERYTHING with a fine-toothed comb. Cannot find anything hitting or rubbing. Decided to move forward and swap camshafts and lifters.
That said, if anyone needs a good cam for a big block... I have one, barely used. It's a Crane Blueprint cam - tweaked for the pure stocks. The application is 350 & 360 HP 396, 385, 390, & 400 HP 427, and 70' - 72' LS5 454. It's a small cam by most standards, but packs some extra power due to the tweaks. I swapped to something slightly bigger that still fits the rules - in search of a few extra jigga watts.

didn't have much time so all i did was mask the door area so i can paint the door jams. today i hope to sand the roof nice and smooth clean the whole car with wax and grease cleaner and prime the door jams and doors. Once those are primed paint the door jams and doors on the part where the door jams cover it put the doors back on and get ready to paint the rest of the car.

I'm sitting here in one of our plants in Querétaro Mexico and thinking I need to get the gas tank back in mine when I get home so I can drive it as I really do miss it. But since I got the Camaro and it is running (except the clock) there is no fire under me to get it done.

My gaskets will be here tomorrow morning. Planning to put it all back together and get it ready to go back in. Still need to touch up the engine bay and repair the exhaust manifold.

Zip, zero, zilch. I did wash the tires and but some AmorAll glaze on them. the other day. It dries and isn't sticky like the silicone, oily stuff.
Son bought a house and moved his tool chest out of my garage. So I've been rearranging mine. I have a 3 piece Craftsman's set, 2 pieces were in the garage, 1 in the shed. Now all 3 are in the garage and I still don't have enough room in them. I think I need another bottom section, you know, 1 for the SAE tools and one for the metric. Like metric pliers, screwdrivers, adjustable wrenches and hammers. Don't want to mix that stuff up with the SAE stuff.
