well update on the car. i sold it to a friend of mine and i have been working on it to get it back together. We had a few stumbles getting everything in the car and getting it running. One issue as Jeff stated was the exhaust cam being broken which was fixed earlier this week. Next was getting a oil feed which i got him to just order a sandwich plate and got that fixed really not that big. Then to me it didnt seem like much oil was going to the top of motor so we took the pan off and beat it out somemore :
riginal owner hit a big dip and crushed it::. So last night we get the oil pan back on, put the sandwich plate in place and turn it over with no plugs etc to get some oil into the feed line and what not. Got that done and now came the big moment, will it start. Turn the pump and stuff on and after about 3 times of the motor turned over it started up and purred like a kitten. Glad its running now as i had a few skeptical people that didnt think me and my buddy could do it. Hopefully by sunday ill have the small vaccum leak found and the radiator and coolant lines all routed right and he is driving it.
