Well – spinning the engine for the oil test got me excited so I went on a marathon session and moved along in getting the throttle body, exhaust, belts, and radiator back on. The vacuum hose diagram made things pretty simple to connect up. Key thing I found was cleaning the inside of all the hoses with break cleaner made them “tacky” so they stuck better on the fittings. Used RTV on the water hoses expect for the big radiator hoses





Put the fuel pump fuse back in and connected the spark coil. Set the distributor to half way and shut the door.

Key in – turn, it starts.

OIL pressure gauge climbs up to normal pressure. Enough for the night.
