Maiden voyage
I made it about 4 miles. I'm pretty sure the gear on the end of the distributor is no longer spinning. I suspect I sheared the pin. I'll know this weekend when I try to get it running again. Wish me luck.

maiden voyage - part deux
Ok, after bending 11 pushrods and 8 valves, and then redoing the heads (again). it actually runs. The pin that aligns the cam gear to the cam sheared. That causes major damage I found out. Ouch.
Drove it to the alignment shop and then back home.
So far, so good.
