My 5.9 into '68 Dart swap
Well, been busy. Finished my madd electrical ammeter bypass. Got the radiator in, hoses on, distributor in, plug wires etc. Filled the engine with antifreeze through the thermostat opening. Then mounted my t-stat and housing. This way the engine would have plenty of coolant in it before the t-stat opens.
Any way, finished up some small details this morning, filled the carb bowls by dumping some gas in the vents. I pumped the throttle a few times to see if it was squirting from the accelerator pump.
I setup the movie camera, jumped in and turned the key.
It fired up almost instantly, ran smooth and even idled pretty good considering the carb has been setting on the shelf for a year and a half.
It Is ALIVE !
having trouble getting my edited video to play, but i'll have it up soon.
