17798 is back up and running, and in less than a month. Was able to score serviceable used parts from Delta. Took two attempts to reinstall the auxilliary housing, as I had the distributor oriented so it fouled the block. Thought I had really screwed up when I heard the sickening pop, but was lucky and only had to start over with a new gasket. I guess I got lucky on the timing as it fired right off, seems to idle better now, but will put the timing light on it and try to dial it in closer. Had some tense moments on two shake down runs, but will put those in appropriate threads.
