My first start in 2 years of being down.
« on: March 25, 2019, 04:49:55 PM »
The first start of my 1964 Ford Falcon Sprint with 427 fe motor stroked to 482. Ran into a couple of small setbacks. A transmission line was not tight enough, small leak and fixed. Two plug wires were on the wrong plugs, fixed. That was about it. I'm sorry the camera is almost upside down but I videoed it right side up so I don't know what happened. The car was up to 80 compression. The temperature was a steady 185-190 while we ran the car for 30 minutes.

Unfortunately the video did not load. Will try something else.

Well by now it's not my first start but an update by way of photos. Bought some new Chip Foose rims.   https://i.imgur.com/ez0APbX.jpg  https://i.imgur.com/lGdKXwR.jpg And did some engine work/cleanup   https://i.imgur.com/efmhExK.jpg 

Presently the car is at my mechanics and he's putting in a new B&M shifter. Thanks for looking guys.
