I have got the engine to start up now. But I see it will be long journey to get it on the road. I have some observations
1. The starter seems to jump out several,times before it will stay engaged to start up
2. Will a 12v timing light work on my engine
3. I never removed the oil pump to check for proper intstallation. It seems to be starting now should I still check it out?
4.when can I adjust the tappets for tuning warm?
The new brakes are on, the shifting linkages are set, and I am anxious to at least drive it out of the shop and back. This total restoration took me 12 years.
Thanks for all the help
