Thread: Finally figured out my ignition system

Tweet

Got the pump in tonight, got it running again, pump worked fine, we pumped the gas out of a can instead of pumping it out of the tank, just for priming the pump. still needs a little tuning. Tomorrow we'll flush the coolant and add new then, well add oil and trans fluid then, wedsday we'll take it on it's maiden test voyage down the road and back. We also checked the trans whail we had it running, engages very well.

COOL !!!!

We drove the car today. We filled all the fluids up, fired it up, got it up to temp then, drove it around a little ( down the road and back ). We ran the gas outa the tank too, the guy b4 me had put a fuel filter in so, only clean gas got to the carb. We HAD to have the car down at my grandparents cause, my uncle who is up from Georgia is up at there house until the 21'st and he is going to help me with the rockers and any other body work it needs that we have time for. The car is now at my grandparents waiting for the bodywork to be done saturday or sunday. 90% of the way there it ran like a top, the last 10%, the fuel filter started to get clogged and we did 20 MPH the rest of the way, died a couple of times but we just kept blowing the filter out to get it to the destination. Brakes now work good but, were gonna check the lines to make shure they wont pop. We had her up to 55 MPH then, we ran outa runway and the filter started to clog, we ran
an avrage speed of 40 MPH. My uncle is a nuclear certafied welder, he also does all of his own bodywork with lead and never bondo. I will flush and change all fluids but we really were pinched for time to get it down there.

All the gagues work also.

Sounds decent. youve got yourself a good cleanish car there. Just be sure to post pics when youre done!
