Apologies for ignorance in advance--I've never done this though.
I'm getting my car running after having the engine out, and down to the longblock after having some work done on it. All sheet metal on top is back on and the motor is back in. What I need to do still: - Attach exhaust, bottom warm air guides, and heater tubes (J tubes) (exhaust is already complete from HEs to muffler) - Put on Carbs, distributor, linkage, and hook up fuel lines and fuel pump. (The carbs and intake manifolds were taken off as a unit, and are still bolted together.) - get running. My questions/concerns in getting running. Once everything is together, I verify TDC, put the distributor rotor facing #1 cylinder, then start and set timing, right? I do have a timing light, and the marks on the fan are very visible, and already at the top. What am I missing here? Motor is a 2056 with dual 40 webers. This is probably pretty routine stuff for a lot of you guys, but a big step for me...any help is appreciated. |
