Hey guys,

well after a notre dame lost I was back at it and pulled the plugs and they looked like they had some soot or were running rich to me, anyways shot some oil in the cylinders and waited a bit to hand crank the motor and it is a lot easier to rotate. I tested the starter still with the jumper cables until I can get some better cables and I definitely noticed a difference.

I had a little bit of oil spray out of a threaded hole on the driver side middle of the block, I am assuming it goes to some filter or something to cycle through the engine.

Plans:

fix the oil leak
maybe swap out the dizzy for my 76 hei dizzy bc its 12 volts
hook up my monojet carb from my 76 (because i know it works etc)
reinstall the water pump and maybe just run a hose on it? Less mess?
try and get her started!

So what am I overlooking other than the fact that if she does run, it will be loud with no muffler?
