I am getting close to starting it up. This motor has not run since 1979. It is rebuilt so it should be a good running motor. You guys have a good check list to make sure something is not over looked. Also some tips on breaking in the cam ECT. Its been a long time for me. I did my purple car motor but that was 13 years ago and it is a roller motor. I been working on it over the winter with my 14 year old son. I am sure when it lights up he will be pumped up.
