It's Alive!
Its been awhile but the new motor is in and running. Everything looks good after 45mins of break-in time.
Great oil pressure.
180-190 water temp on each head.
It fired up first lick. adjusted timing and carb and it runs and sounds great.
Still have a few bugs to work out.
1. Oil dip stick tube broke. Should have bought a new one. My Bad.
2. Trans acting a little weird. Have post a ? over on the trans board
3. No hot air comming out of vents.
4. Running a little rich.....(Jets)
5. Still have not gotten a air cleaner. Took the old one off for pics.
But all in all things are looking good and I should have these little problem taken care of in a few days.
But heres a few pics of waht I got so far.
Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
