The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot '60-'66 Trucks '62 C-10 Restomod build begins/ends

Weather has been a bit nasty for a week. Sun was out this afternoon so I felt like tweeking the timing and actually letting the '62 run for more than 2 seconds. Moved the wires one post counter clockwise and poured a tablespoon or two of real gas down the throat. Fired with about 2-3 seconds of cranking and smoothed right out. Let it run for about 45 seconds and revved it to about 2000rpm and back to idle a couple of times. Ms Kathy was monitoring the gauges and idiot lights. All was well and I shut it down. Ready to hit my punch list and trailer it to the exhaust shop. Then the final tune on the engine before a test drive. I hope to be driving by the end of February. 🛠
