Well she ran on the last day of school (May 19), but not without issues. I have a hole in the radiator (not fiaxable and I can't find a used one and cant afford a new one).
I have a leak between the upper and lower intake, a very annoying whistle, I'm going to get a new gasket and try again.
I drove it the 10 miles home- it idles smooth but "chugs" under load and doesn't have very much power. I don't know if the intake leak would have that much of an effect or not.
I'm thinking it's time for new plugs and wires and then set timing with a light.
It has all the original parts, except I replaced
rings
bearings
oil pump
gaskets
