Here's my 70 K5's engine bay with its freshly rebuilt 400 sbc. Amazing how a little elbow grease and rattle can paint can freshen up an engine bay.

Very sweet setup. How are you liking the MSD/Small cap dizzy/external coil setup? I assume you got them from Skip White? I'm looking to do the same. How plug and play was the dizzy with the 6AL?

Thanks, Tony.

Thanks, Tony.

actually, i went the stupid save a buck route and spent twice as much

i bought the procomp ignition package from ebay with the 6al copy cat msd box, a p51 super coil, and the magnetic pickup dizzy with no vac advance(better for big cams). the procomp 6al is THE worst piece of crap ever made! it died on me while i was fine-tuning the motor during the first hour of break in! i went through all of the wiring and found that power was going into the box and no power coming out. needless to say i drove straight to my local speed shop (goteli's) and bought the new msd 6al for 200 bucks, no problems since! the dizzy is awesome(also procomp) and the coil is great too, but i will never buy procomp crap again!

i got the procomp electric water pump in a package i put together when building the motor, but that posed serious problems too!
the water pump is fine but they give you a plug for one of the two water outlets and it is too small! (leaks), then i had to figure out how to run my alternator being that 98% of brackets run off of the water pump, i went with a header mount and a head mounted arm with spacers.... i hate this set up. it puts the water pump at a crazy angle, it works but i need to go a different route.
overall my ignition setup now is great but i would have just gone the msd route if i had to do it again. it fires on the first touch of the key every time!

the funny thing is...... that radiator was just laying around from another project years ago, i think it was out of a 88 up gm big block truck. i dont quite remember, but it fit perfect. it sits down into the radiator support and the rubbers real nice like it was made for these trucks. it is aluminum, and has black abs plastic sides? i had bought a race radiator with no auto trans cooler built in, but i decided to run this one temporarily and hunt down another aluminum griffin with a built in cooler. still havent gotten around to that yet

but this one runs great, never gets hotter then 180 degrees. if i can get to it tomorrow, i can study its habits and give you more detailed info.
