Good Sunday morning to you all. I was able to work on the executive for a while yesterday.
.I pressure washed off the house paint on the exterior with my hot water pressure washer.

I did uncover some issues that I had not previously seen. It had a respray prior to the house paint and they did a poor job of prep as I was able to remove most of that respray as well.

I worked on the engine a bit as well. Someone has tried to get this running in the last 10 to 15 years. It has newer points plugs cap and rotor. I pre lubed the cylinders ran it manually around 3 full cycles of compression and exhaust. Then I jumped the starter and ran it 15 to 20 full cycles with the plugs removed

I then ran it to TDC and pulled the cap to determine #1 cyl on the cap. The firing order was completely messed up so I fixed that. I diconnected the fuel pump also.

I decided to see if I could get it to fire a bit and she fired up and idled with what fuel I put in the carb.
