it's a life style
The good news is that I don't have to change the intake!
I worked on the adjustments today. The A/C brackets were easy. Clearancing the manifold was a PITA. I didn't end up with much of the coil boss left, but enough so it will locate the front of the bracket so it can't swivel.

Just asking, is that torque converter with the weight on it correct for the balance job done on the crank ??
Actually we removed the weight from the converter and neutral balanced it. It does have a weight on the harmonic balancer and some Mallory in the rear counterweight.
I should mention that the KB pistons were significantly lighter than the stockers, which helped with the balance.
The last of the test fitting today, I hope. I took some more time finessing the fuel line, and installed all the A/C brackets and everything clears.
Don't forget another hose clamp at the carb...
I thought I better check the clearance on the fuel line with the distributor installed. Of course it interfered. This time I hugged the block and brought it up under the A/C bracket. Now it clears. I also put two clamps on the hose, just for you Don. Oh yeah, and the correct thermostat housing.

I posted this in the heating and cooling section but I also had to change the water pump idler pulley because of a bad bearing.
While I was thinking about pulleys I thought I better check the crank pulley. I have an aftermarket damper, and sure enough the bolt holes didn't line up. A little work with the carbide and a round file and it is all fixed up. Tomorrow is supposed to be above freezing, so I will touch up the intake after my grinding and give all of the accessory brackets a quick coat.
A little touch up paint. I knew the lift would come in handy.
