Well I am happy to report it is running again! I bought a new set of plugs and put them in, but that was not without problems too…my bad luck. I was tightening one and noticed that one I had just put in had a broken insulator. I had to run to the store and exchange it.

Finally got the plugs in and tried starting it. I just kept moving the distributor a little bit until it sounded like it was going to fire. About the third try I finally had success!

I had the timing mark at TDC but it didn't run very strong. I've played with the timing and got it to run a lot better. I'm going to see if I can get my Dad to come over tomorrow and help me fine tune it.

I suppose the next plan should be going through the carb, but that might wait a little while.
