Got a few things done today. Pulled the old valve covers, and while I had ’em off, test-fitted the Scorpion 1.7 roller rockers and the fit – WINNER! Re-routed the main and fuel injection harnesses on the firewall to clean up the mess a little. Then boxed up the old valve covers, motor mounts, the old Duraspark distributor, and a few other things to send to Dave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, unlike the stock-style ‘saddle-mount’ Scorpions (that need longer push-rods), these 1.7 stud-mount units will work with the stock push-rods. BUT – I put the stockers back on, since setting the lash on these will take a good chunk of time (rotate the engine, adjust a few of them, rotate the engine some more, adjust some others… lather, rinse, repeat) and I want to hear this thing run sooner than later.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Gettin’ there. Got the main and fuel injection harnesses cleaned up and re-routed a bit. Next time, it’ll be all about battery cables, power & ground distribution blocks, and finishing up the engine wiring.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And here’s the other side – gotta clean up that mess on the firewall. Then install the power brake booster, lines, & billet master cylinder along with the steering column, and reconnect the wiring for the grille.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
