Grand Poobah strikes again! Glad you got it back together and running well. If the flex plate were the wrong weight I think it would be an unbearable shake. How bad does it vibrate?
You bringing it to Charlotte?

It's has a good shake to it at low rpms and somewhat smoothes out around 2.5-3rpms. I don't have a tach installed on it so I'm just guessing. A tach is on the list.
I will not be driving it up to Charlotte. I'm riding shotgun in the '77 with Chuck.:xyxthumbs:

So how much did he charge you for the work he did and the labor and all?

Imagine what it would cost for a shop to tear down the whole front of the engine, pull the radiator, replace a harmonic balancer, timing cover seal, water pump, all the gaskets(timing cover, fuel pump, water pump). and then drop the oil pan, fix/reseat the oil pump rod from the distributor, replace the oil pan gasket. Fix/replace my Shotty intaket manifold gaskets job that were leaking, and then adjust the carb and timing. Not to mention pressure wash the whole under carriage. Just take a guess at what alll that would cost at your local service shop. Needless to say Chuck's price was well below that!:jump: Thanks Chuck! You are the man!:xyxthumbs:

saw you driving by yesterday as i was putting some diesel in the truck at the kangaroo on the corner of maybank and river rd. top off, cold, nasty rain and all. :notworthy:

Yep. the afternoon commute home. I haven't gotten around to installing the soft top I picked up from Crawdad. It wasn't that cold in the mid 50's, and the rain was more like a drizzel. What can I say, I love driving my Bronco rain or shine.upergrin:
