Hot Rods Got My Hot Rod Running...Almost

Today a couple buddies came over to try and get my engine running for my coupe. From what I know it's a '79 302 with a 351 cam in it. We found this out because the we had to change the firing order from 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8 to 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8. Anyway here 26 seconds of bliss for me.

The rest of my build thread is here. It hasn't been updated in a while but it's been 3+ years to get to this point so i'm pretty excited.

Video does not work.. Looked at the other thread and looked good! Post some more pictures when you get a chance!

 

Try now... I was posting from my BlackBerry before.

 

Great, I started mine for the first time in October it is a fantastic experience. One suggestion, fill the carb with gas thru the vents with an eyedropper and use an air cleaner. The backfire in your video could have been a lot worse.

 

Awesome man!

 

Thanks, the air cleaner was set aside and we had an escape plan. The slowest guy would get trampled.
We actually had discussed the worst case scenario and were prepared.

 

The first fire up is always fun..........scarey, but fun. Once you get the timing dialed in it should run fine.

We had problems with cyl 1 lifter being plugged. Once we had that cleaned and found the clip that sprung out we put everything back together. Timing is something I don't have a lot of experience with but that's why my buddies were here.

 

Cool beans bud!!! Congrats!

 

Thanks dude, you may have a couple more car on the road by the time I get mine driving.
