So just to recap, this engine has sat under cover for 2 years in an open carport since I bought it from Rick, and its been 5 months since I started the 4 speed and engine swap, needless to say I'm quite pleased it started and ran as easily and as well as it did.
I was also not too confident in my skills at setting the timing and I was worried I was gonna get a fireball in my face.
:rofl:
Also it has a wicked *** exhaust leak right now because I didn't provide enough clearance between the exhaust pipe and the oil pan rail so the flange wont seat to the manifold, that's why it sounds a little odd.:rolleyes:
Once I got the timing dialed in better and the carb set right it idled much better although it still has that same damn skip at idle that the other engine had :mad: Im starting to suspect a bad ignition module.
