New double roller timing set.

There is still a little slack in the chain, slid the balancer on eyeballed a reference and it looks like 2 degrees of play, but it's better than 20+ degrees of play. The cam bearings are probably so warn the cam is sitting lower in the block.

Geeze this stuff is baked on.

I had this nice thick timing cover gasket, but it was too thick and ended up using the Fel Pro.

Some new and refurbished bits.

Slowly going back together.

New sleeve and seal.

Oiled the chain.

The OIL lamp never worked, so it does have a bad sender, I had a used spare.

That will work.

I prepped a donor damper as this is a '68 damper and the car had a later year one on it. Turns out the timing marks were still in the same location, so the pointer was the same as well. But doesn't hurt to the have the correct year part on it.

Timing cover installed, spacer installed and key.

Donor pulley cleaned and painted.

It's a whole lot easier to read the timing marks now.

Since everything was baked on this car, a new fuel pump was in order, that and someone strong armed the fitting on and I rounded the fixed fitting on the old pump trying to get it off.

15 hues of an ugly blue

I test fitted the new coolant pump to measure the bypass hose, it's silicon with stainless steel clamps.

Coolant pump installed.

Since they jacked the original radiator mounts these are from the donor car. I just picked the best rubber mounts to use.

New 160˚F fail safe thermostat.
