Well we can finally answer the thread’s question, “Why Won’t it Start??” The answer: “Because, it needed the right touch!” We will be forever indebted to Jerry, aka Hotrodlincoln, master mechanic extraordinaire, who graciously agreed to a mechanic’s house call of sorts this afternoon. After 2 hours of going through the steps involved in setting the distributor timing, checking the points & plugs, adjusting the lash on all cylinders, advancing the timing ever so slightly, SHE CRANKED!! It was beautiful music to our ears!

I will upload a picture of me Steve snapped shortly afterwards. Later this evening I will upload the video of it cranking for the first time on our YouTube channel showing our exuberance and will put a link on this forum.
