The topless adventures of Cuda Al
With everything in place it was time for a test run. My friend came over and we went to fire it up and we were getting sparks from where the battery cable bolts to the block. Removed the cable, sanded the paint off both the head and the cable, problem solved. Even then we were getting nothing at the starter relay, just put a temporary neutral safety bypass in and we were in business. Once it fired up we checked for leaks and anything out of place, we noticed a minor rattle coming from both valve covers.
We shut it off and pull the covers and noticed the adjustable rocker studs were hitting the baffle in the cover, it was minor. We were able to knock the baffle in enough to clear.
Back together we fired it up and let it run.
