1974 Plymouth Valiant Scamp - Restoration is a strong word

I like the idea of rigging a small can into the fuel pump inlet and flushing first. I rebuilt the carb yesterday and none of the old fuel has come close to it since.

I'm going to go very slow on checking timing and valves. The car already has a DIY GM HEI, so I'm pretty sure the ballast resistor is long gone.

One thing you want to do is make sure the polarity of the dist. pickup is correct. This affects what has become known as "rotor phasing." You an look that up. This diagram, a member made from my henscratch, shows the should be correct hook-up Notice the color of the dist wires RE: the pins on the HEI

Also, you want to bypass the seat belt interlock reset box, so the thing does not trip and leave you stranded. There are two yellowish wires in the connector, jumper those together. These are the start circuit from the ignition switch and on the way to the start relay The reset box is on the driver side fender apron up near the firewall
