dude this BB kicks ass! thanks for all the pics and help! yeah when dissassembling the engine i thought i marked everything, apparently i was wrong. still got some things to figure out, oh and bones i want one of those distributor covers, did you steal it off of a ford?

still wondering about that ellectrical connector that hooks up to the back of that thing that mounts to the intake manifold in the front with two bolts, it has hoses that go to the throttle body, i think its some kinda air valve, it also hooks up to the back of the timing cover where there is water.
