Installed and torqued down the head, installed the fuel pump, and installed the manifolds. I do have a question on the manifold installation, referenced here:https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=16571&post_id=165358#forumpost165358

Tomorrow should see me adding oil, new plugs, and the electrical side of the house, and maybe a quick light-off.

As far as breaking in the engine- I have seen some stuff about high idle, and I have also heard that the engine should be driven somewhat aggressively to seat the rings. Any tips? I know my engine book says drive aggressively, but not too hard, at 35-40 mph without racing the engine or letting it idle excessively.
