Ok, Here we go!
Started the Crypt Car with not too much difficulty.
Let it warm up up choke not needed.
Turned the dizzy this way and that way with both
tiny pastic vaccuum tubes on the dizzy disconnected.
Finally got a reasonably constant 850 to 900 rpms.
Reconnected the plastic tubes and made minor adjustments
to hold the 85- to 900 rpms. Engine was running smoothly except for the loud valve tap. #1 or # 2 valve I think.
(wood broom handle method)
Oil pressure at 850 rpms about 55-60 psi. Oil pressure
at 2000 rpms constant75 psi.
I had the engine running perhaps 20 minutes.
Turned off the key and the engine kept running and
running and sputtering and shking all over. I had to
jump inside the empty cockpit and put the trans in
2nd gear to stop the engine.
So what have I accomplished today, if anything?
Any forward progress made?
thanks as always,
dale
