Go for it. Hopefully you won't have another list to sort out once it is "finished"! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) If it gives you any problems we can always throw a Subaru power plant in that thing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

They are going bye-bye. It's going to take about two weeks to do the porting work, and I do have a few other odds and ends to accomplish in the meantime.

My list is getting much, much shorter. I'm still ordering more parts, as if I haven't had enough Pelican, Patrick, and eBay shit showing up at the front door.

Stay tuned....

When you want an engine harness done correctly for your /6 conversion, I would HIGHLY recommend Perry Kiehl for the work.

Dang, the guy is the DaVinci of DaWiring....!!!!

I installed one of Chris/Tangerine's cool 90 degree turn clutch wheel brackets along with a Patrick Motorsports delrin wheel. I used the "pulled back holes so I won't need spacers on the clutch clevis cable end.

One of my biggest financial hurdles was to buy the Clewett Engineering ignition system and wires.

It's here now, waiting for my heads to be done and I also scored some lower turbo covers.

Richard is a very nice guy too, btw!

I ran the aftermarket Permatune Capacitive Discharge ignition and stock distributor rotor rev limiter with a pertronix points replacement. Never had a problem with it. Curious if this system provides any more horsepower?
Does look expensive and a lot more work to implement, however I did my 2.7 six conversion back in 86 and a lot has changed since then.

It's actually plug n' play. Just the fact that there is no distributor to turn and power has to be a bonus power-wise.

Perry Kiehl made me the engine harnesses and called Richard Clewett multiple times to get it right.

Perry is a GREAT GUY to deal with too, btw!!!!!!

It is the folks like Richard Clewitt, Perry Kiehl, Eric Shea, Richard Paar, Harry Schmidt, Brad Mayeur, Racer Chris, and many more (apologies to those not named directly)that make this hobby so wonderful. Their advice and willingness to share their knowledge is without equal and what allow us to still in joy these cars when many of their contemporaries have long gone to the crusher.

When it rains, it pours; now that things are going well again, the good news can't stop! Even without the '66, though, your project is looking great.

Does the roller nut go on like this, or with the ridge side down?
