Title: Got the little Olds engine running
Post by: hoffbug on June 21, 2015, 10:15:12 PM
A quick shot of the cam beak-in.... Had a few minor issues... some leakage at the core plugs and the rear rope seal was leaking and then seemed to stop. Also have some ignition issues with the vintage accel distributor .I'm guessing the open box Ebay module isn't up to the task.

Not a British car... Its going into a Pontiac Astre...  But this sight has some pretty solid knowledge base on the little aluminum engines..

I post some updates here from time to time..
