Ok more success.
I got the motor started!!! (Happy Dance)
This is running off a couple of alligator clips to ballast resistor and then to the coil. So all just temporary wiring. But the motor started on the first shot. I was actually surprised. This running off the mechanical fuel pump. If you look at the video it appears the motor is running/idling fast? like it's racing. Do you think this is just a Carb adjustment? Throttle linkage?
I do have the the vacuum port between the carb base and the fuel pump open at this time as I need to replace that hard line. Would that cause the high rpm?
I havent timed it yet, so I still need to do that as well. The timing was just statically set when I rebuilt the distributor.
I had to kill the motor as it was getting a little smokey in the garage from the penetrating oil that was put down the cylinders when I was freeing the motor many moons ago. I also realize I have an exhaust leak where the down-pipe meets the exhaust manifold. Also I need to replace the exhaust as the rear section is missing just forward of the gas tank.
