Mar 9 Update

Removed the engine from the dyno and put it back on the engine stand to await repairing the rear mail leak fix.  Ordered rear shocks and brake parts today.  Checked the pulley sizes on the crank and water pump and talked to Patick Dykes at Patrick's Antique Cars to verify using the 216 wide belt pump on the 235.  He agreed it would work but told me I'm nuts for doing so!  He recommends using the narrower 3/8" belt with the 235 as it fits all the later items I may want to add in the future.  However, all that costs mo money!  And I don't need to "invent" expenses.  I have a balancer with a narrow groove pulley ready to go so when/if I decide to upgrade, I'll replace the water pump at that time.
