Just got back from Phoenix at about 3:30pm. Went to the shop to redo the distributor on my 8n which wouldnt start after rebuild. Thought I would try it one more time, turned fuel on hit the starter button and VAROOM, it fired right off and ran like a champ. Warmed it up and oil pressure is 40lbs hot high rpm and 20lbs hot idle. Finally got to drive it around after 6 months of working on it. Also brakes work great which didnt work till this teardown and installed new pads. I am on cloud nine and one happy camper. Thanks to the guy which told me to check fuel needle. I had taken carb off before I left to go to Phoenix and had cleaned it but didnt get a chance to try to start it cause of rain. That must have been the problem

To say the least, I jumped about 4 feet backwards and was totally shocked, took me a few seconds to relize that I needed to check oil pressure (LOL). My father in law was there and started laughing

Also amp meter guage reads about 10 amps after start up then gradually drops to about 3-4 amps which is what it done before rebuild. I will get pics and post them later. Thanks to all who helped
