Alvin,

You've got me spoiled with all the information you have been providing me. I was hoping that you might be able to hook me up with a code or recommendation. I'll probably start by calling Scott Tiemann to see if he has a paint formulation that he has settled on for 1978. If he does I will call it good and move on. Does anybody have any very low mileage 1878 engine part (valve cover, oil fill cap, valley or oil pan, to use as a guide for comparison.

My current plan is to just drive the Gold Car until late fall and then yank the engine and do a real underhood clean up. Also replace the rear main seal, oil pan gasket, and paint the engine. I have also been toying with the idea of installing an 068 cam and 1.65 rockers. We'll see.
