56 Cadillac engine 365

Ive drained the oil, replaced the points, cap,rotor,condenser, coil,ballast, .

This motor has 5000 +- on rod bearings, rings, and a headjob.

So says the guy that owned it for 48yrs.

Any/All advice before I fire this thing up ??????

I will fill it up with oil before I start it.

Sorry, This car has been off the road since 1996 !!!!

Thanks for any/all information,

Jim

 

Try to get oil pressure up before you let it fire

 

Prime it with gas and oil and start that baby up! Post some pics!

Spin it without firing first...put a gauge on it and prime the oil.
