Biohazard
Garage is becoming a very happy place. I continue to move things from 'holding' areas to their permanent positions and have almost decimated that huge wall of boxes. Getting back into the fish now with attention set on the ignition system.
Reinstalling distributor: The cap, rotor, and all that do work but have some wear on them. I'll be replacing that stuff eventually but just wanted to get the system together and in place. Body of the dizzy needed a shot of Marine Clean to get the crud off...
Clocked the motor to #1 TDC, remove the year-and-a-half old painter's tape and dropped it in with a new O-ring. Then I mounted the coil and made the appropriate connections to it.
^ while I was on this...I noticed my throttle cable was improperly routed behind the transmission linkage pivots so I squared that away.
One of the most enjoyable things was manually rotating that crank and feeling everything moving smoothly internally. First time since the block was reassembled in January of 2014! Shout-out to Harbor Freight for the 1 1/4" impact socket for $3.99.
