16.10.29 installed everything, checked electrical. Couldn't quite line up exhaust.
16.10.30 Son bolted up exhaust. Friend came over to help break in run. Started but would only run with spray in carb. Friend attempted checking timing, could not see timing mark at indicator. We found petcock valve partially closed, started, and run for break in. Ran fairly well, 2000 rpm for 30 min with 2400 rpm for 5 minutes mid run. After break in idled decent at 650 rpm for 5 to 10 minutes before shut down. Revving during idle period caused stumble.
16.11.06 got almost all bodywork reattached, grill back in as well.
bumper pan scratched though.
16.11.07 a few of the remaining bolts in. Took for test drive. Stopped at another friends checked timing, he found very far advanced, adjusted as much as possible. Running touch better, but still doesn't like over 3000 to 3200 RPM. Transmission shifting much smoother.

16.11.28 replaced fuel pump. NAPA part. 41169
16.12.03 Friend came over to help son n I check engine adjustments. Relied on my setup of dwell. Re-adjusted timing by checking for TDC (relied on pulley mark) and then rotor position. Once started n warmed up set up timing to about 8' at 700ish RPM. Played with carb adjustments, didn't improve much. Disconnected and plugged vacuum accessories, carb faults got worse - leaks at plate rods and gaskets. Wait for carburetor rebuild.
