Got my new motor running tonight!
Whoo Hoo! I rebuilt the motor in my Panel over the winter and now it runs.
I didn't really mean to let it start 'cause I don't have a bottom radiator hose. I was just going to crank it for a minute and make sure everything looked right, but it caught and settled into a nice idle. Never had one do that before. I let it run for 30 seconds or so and shut it down. One more trip to the parts house for a hose and I'll be on the road. The reason I don't have a hose is I wanted to use the fan shroud off the parts truck, but it wouldn't fit with the radiator that came with the Panel, so I used the radiator from the parts truck as well and it all went in fine, even though it is like 2 inches wider than the other one. I just had to move the bottom rad. support. But the bottom fitting for the hose is much bigger around and no matter what I tried, I couldn't get that old hose to fit.
