Re: Exhaust wrap
Best options as others have mentioned are ceramic coat the headers and use heat shields. The very first thing I tackled was reducing heat going into the cab. I'm in south texas with a K model. I used Heatsheild Products (HSP) thermaflect cloth and covered the whole underside of the engine cover. Tha...

Re: Masked Light switch question...
That's what I though....and looking at your pic it appears that the pin is flush with the top of the switch lever when at it's normal state...mine is fully depressed. I suspected mine was seized from corrosion in the down state. I put a drop of kroil in the depression so hopefully I can get that uns...

Masked Light switch question...
So the light switch clearly has a stop that appears to be able to clicked over to move the switch to positions "S1"..."S2"...etc. Book tells you to use the ignition key to push the center of the switch and toggle the stop over. Seems straight forward. But mine will not move over ...

Re: Timing Question...
Yep...that's how I have always done timing. Also given the distance between the pointer and pulley OD...parallax is even more sensitive to who's looking at it without a 3rd reference point.

Timing Question...
When timing the distributor...logic would dictate that you want to view the pointer to pulley mark from the passenger side as that is where the distributor is located.
