Some Updates
So I finally got an oil pump. It was recommended from a personal friend of mine, I trust him. I ran it by the customer & he was also okay with it.

Got it all done, set timing (funny now the distributor is dead center at 20*) Bleeding the cooling system & finishing touches before its back to the dyno.

Almost double the power!! Torque curve is impressive.
End result - Customer is ecstatic & very happy. I am also happy to see this vehicle leave my shop after its two week residency.
