New pushrods received. They fit like a glove. Adjusted the valves and primed the engine while rotating the crank. I saw plenty of oil getting around so my son and I proceeded to put the distributor, valley pan and intake on. I got to teach him about the firing order and how a distributor works and had him wire up the plugs. I tried to get the timing as close to start up advance when I put the distributor in. We'll see how good I am.
It sure looks good on the stand all shiny and dressed up. Reminds me of the scene from Spinal Tap with the guitar on the stand that's never been played.
Nigel Tufnel: The sustain, listen to it.
Marty DiBergi:I don't hear anything.
Nigel Tufnel: Well you would though, if it were playing.
The local shop with the Superflow only dynos their own builds. Called around and couldn't find a dyno that was within a distance I wanted to travel, so I made the executive decision to drop it in this weekend. Maybe I'll circle back with a chassis dyno after we get it installed. Wish us luck!
