Sid had one laying around, it was sitting for some while, had some condesation rust on the cam lobes, everything looked crusty
. Some PB blaster and some wiping took care of that. I put the u20 in with the tranny in the car (even tho' i was told it was to hard.) It took 20 mins (it would have taken less but my little brother put the jack under the bell housing and the engine was hitting it.) Went back today and finished up the rest (intake, header, starter...oops, yep header and intake and carbs first with the sheild..had to take it back off..to put the starter on...replaced fuel pump and yadda yadda.Just wanted to make sure i hooked everything up right, turned it over with the coil unplugged to prime it...k hooked it back up and.....nothing no spark!?! well you need the rotor in there, who knew?
And after that it fired right up...sounds rough, maybe out of time..but hey its a start.
i didn't run it long (as in longer than 3 seconds) as the radiator nor the alternator was not hooked up..yes a 2liter one, thanks sid.
how should i set base timing? its just in the middle now (the pointer in the distributor)
And also i didn't forget the ground starter strap, but i did forget the positive wire...DOH!
