Hello fierosound, your car looks amazing, i just wanted to say, once the cold/snow moves off the prairies, which has been surprisingly little in Sk, i think we are all dying for a video of it running, or atleast a sound clip of the exhaust tune, i know i am atleast. It will help me get through the cost of my SD4 build, because you of all people know what i mean. Anyways i was just wondering if your using a SuperDuty water pump or a Duke water pump, and which alternator you are using. I am leaning towards proform hei, but still considering a kinsler fuel inj. set-up with a sprint magneto or other.
So what is the chance you still have the weber setup that came on your SD4 and want to sell it.?? I would drive the 5 hours just to pick it up.
Weber setup was sold on eBay years ago.
Proform disributors come with a red cap. The thing is BIG and a pain to do anything to it with engine in car. I don't think MSD has caps for 4-cyl, but you could get 8-cyl HEI cap and knock 4 posts out. If I were "doing over", I'd use Small HEI external coil distributor from carb'd Duke Jeep engine.
As I've said before, all my SD4 "parts" are on my car and have no SD4 stuff laying around.
Just a Tilton starter. Once I got a new header, I had clearance issues with solenoid and switched to a factory 3800 one.

Car looks great, and here I thought Mister was OCD, no wonder he had a gleam in his eye when he first mentioned your Indy a few years ago. You did beautiful work to it.
Question: How did all the paint on all the engine and suspension parts hold up? When I restored my first 86 I did powdercoating, POR 15, and tremclad (all after sandblasting the parts) and drove my car in everything but snow and salt. I found some of the results slightly dissapointing after a while compared to the reputation POR 15 and powdercoating sometimes get.

Tremclad on the cradle/supension parts seems to be holding up very well. Also used Duplicolor Caliper Paints on engine parts with good success. Like this stuff!
