i have sent some pics to ek61 so he can put some on but not much has happened. roof is straight and primed and engine runs.
it has been put away for now as selling the house and the shed has to be
clean.

Thanks dave. Matches it is a 465 holley vac some would say a little big but i don't like the look of the 350 and the first 2 throats of a 465 are smaller its only when you put your foot down the others open. i did do something today i changed the brake peddle over to auto. hay any one no why my heater hose hole is where it is when most are more under the wiper motor

That heater hose hole in the firewall is interesting.
My FB doesn't have the pressed rib around the hole,
it only had the oval hole for the hose grommet, the
firewall is flat in that area.
I thought they would all be the same.
Cheers

Thats interesting to know Tim,that the heater hose to firewall grommet position is an indicator of an early body apart from body plate numbers.I'll put that one in the memory bank.
