Ok, Im tryin to start it....doest want to fire, Im gonna play with the advance/retard a bit and see if i cant get r goin.

Edit:: I came so close to getting it fired....just on cranking it sounded evil nasty! I cant wait to get it runnin, but I have to do a couple errands first DAMNIT!

 

Who wants to see a picture?

 

Looks good, but how does it run?

 

YOu know rabbler you are asking all of the right questions. good job budy

 

hows it going so far?> pics look great man!

 

just got back from an interview goin to get my buddies 68 velle runnin before we come back and finish the dodgey wodgey...picked up the new starter and gonna swap that out first.

 

YESSSSSS!!!!! Who is ready to be jealous! I got it runnin. It was 180* out, so I just picked up the dist and fliped it. Now it runs! I only ran it for about 3 seconds because its 2 am and doing a cam brake in at 2 am is kinda rude, and I had the idle screw set at @1500 rpm so I couldnt get a good feel for the sound. I do have a video of its first (kinda) breaths, but moreso **** it felt strong.

 

were the hell is this video...you cant just leave me hanging here man....[:@]

 

Alrightey. You want a videos yes? I got a couple. Final update though. Truck is all set, the only thing left to do is secondary valve adjustment. Drove about 40 miles last night, Only ran over 3k once. What a freeking diffrence. Firstly I really had no need to get over 3k because at 3k it pulled like it used to at 5, I ran it to 4500 but the valve tap was too much for me to feel safe soI backed out. I still have 1200 rpm to go once I adjust the valves again. On that 4500 run the truck moved like a scalded dog! Other than that the only problem I have is that this pulls just a little toolittle vaccume at idle so when I come to a light It really really wants to die when im using the brakes, so either I put it in neutral and stop, or come to a stop while blipping the throttle. Im going to get a vaccume canister to help out. Other than that its a real freekin champ. I definately like it better than the lightnings that Iv driven, which was the point of the whole project secretly so thats cool.

Indys first breath of new life. Just checkin to see if it starts. http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y57...t=MVI_0640.flv
