Well work is moving ahead. Set the radiator, ignition system, and mounted the exhaust. A bit of temporary wiring and the engine fired to life last night. Oil pressure is 35 lbs at idle. No knocks or strange noises. Got a minor exhaust leak near the heat riser valve. Ignition points still need some work adjusments, backfiring when revved, idle is smooth and quiet. Should have some more photos up this week. After all this, the new thermostat doesn't work, go figure. Running hot after a 5 to 10 min of idle and no water circulation.. Should have a new one in this week and will retry. Stay tuned! Thanks to the Flackmaster, i have the crankcase draft tube installed. About to head look into a new wiring harness. Any recommendations??
