Well I got a few more things off the list from earlier today. Now, for
tomorrow:
- Pick up new carb to manifold gasket (doh! never thought of that until
tonight when I went to bolt it on)
- Pick up spare alternator belt (I'm using old spare, which is brand new
so I need to replace it)
- Fill with coolant to the level of the block
- Install thermostat and housing
- Install water pump pulley and belt, tighten
- Install, hook up carb
- Install plug wires and cap (not set on distributor)
- Lower the car
- Install (temporarily) driver's seat
- Push car to apron of garage
- Use drill to prime the oil pump and system (wish I had a pressure can
here, I don't think the Motive brake bleeder pressure vessel will work)
- Install distributor and FIRE IT UP!
- Adjust initial timing and let it run to warm up and check things...
I anticipate firing it by tomorrow evening. Film at 11. :)
