Engine Bay SHE RUNS!!!

OK Guys I finished hooking up everything this morning. Fired it at 11:08 little turned it over a couple times a little shot of starting fluid and she fired right up. Right to idle at 750rpm. 60psi oil pressure. Had a slight knock under the driver side valve cover. After a while we figured out it was the valve cover getting rubbed. I need thicker valve cover gaskets. undid the vaccuum advance plugged it and dialed it in to 10 degrees. Runs PERFECT. No leaks no runs no errors. Gotta finish covering the wiring and thats it fenders go on tomorrow.

I just want to say thanks to all of you. I never would have had the guts to attempt this overhaul. It is from all of your knowledge that I was able to pull this off.

Thanks again,

Tony
