So close...

And yet so far! Dad is having a hard time finding the correct belt...fifth time's a charm I guess. We tested the fuel system today and fixed a few small leaks along the pipes, looks good to go now. I also fixed a slight leak at the thermostat housing, so we are all set there.
Dad sorted out the spark plug wires and installed the distributor seen here:
We also put the exhaust pipes on the passenger side:
And then the driver's side:
Shiny! Now all we need to do is put the tires on, take it off the floor jacks, install belt and air cleaner, then we can start her up for the first time! If Dad can find a belt locally, we may be able to start it tomorrow. Till then...
