1958 Dodge
The Coronet is ready to run.
Surprised that the starter and the fuel pump work. I bought a small block mopar pump with an adapter, but didn't need it.
I filed the points and got a weak spark, then noticed the negative coil wire was wasted. Replaced and it sparks like crazy.
All the fluids are clean and full.
After a few cranks, before I had spark, no oil up to the valvetrain.
I should have attempted to prime it before I had the manifold back on, but I'm not even sure my big block priming rod will fit.
I'm not even sure the dizzy will come up and out without removing the heater above it.
Crank it until it runs and make sure oil comes up? Too risky?
