It's ALIVE!


Final preparations before attempting to start the motor for the first time. I've installed new: plugs, cap, rotor, ignition wires and fuel pump. I've cleaned the 32/36 carb and installed a small inline filter. I've bypassed the wiring nightmare for now with a remote start button and a single wire to the coil.


It's ALIVE!

 
The engine started on the first attempt! Unbelievable how much smoke and crap came out of the exhaust!


Speaking of exhaust... Now that the engine has run, it has come to my immediate attention the exhaust system need some serious work.

My wife and I took a trip down to Southern California to visit Ireland Engineering. Nice folks and TONS of goodies I added to the wish list. I left IE with a complete polished stainless exhaust system and ceramic coated header. We also visited 2002AD which has to be the world's largest collection of used 2002 parts.
