Well, after working on homework for about 5-6 hours today, I decided to take a lunch break for some pizza. Last night I managed to get the new spark plug wires on (instead of using the borrowed wires off of my Case SC), and had to hit the sack. Well, anyways.. I finished my pizza and thought heck.. With the new plug wires, I'll give it a turn to see what happens. At this point I was still expecting to have to have my friend come over Saturday morning to pull start me. I gave myself an hour (yes, even with the current blisters).
Well, as the video can attest. I had her running in MUCH less than an hour. Even took a quick trip around the tiny block. That's all I could since I drained most of the fluid from the rear. Need to get some diesel fuel to flush it out before I refill it.
I hope you guys enjoy the video, and I can't thank everyone enough for all of the help in this project. It's not over yet though. Still have to get the quirks out of it - for one the leaky head gasket, and I'm sure the carb needs to be adjusted a little.. Although there wasn't any white smoke which means it's not leaking into the cylinders (which is good), and there wasn't a lack in power, from what I could tell. I'm sure the neighbors think I am crazy. Quite frankly, I really don't care. Stay tuned!
