Fredo: we are in "Thetis Heights" (Bellamy Rd). We bought this place 10 years ago, too.
Mechainiac: The engine sounds much worse in the video than in real life. Someday I will figure out how to do audio/video editting. The engine is a 1962 low mileage GM replacement engine(1962 Mr. Goodwrench?) So it has the hydraulic lifters.
I am surprised you didn't give me a shot about the high idle speed - I set it up so the battery would charge faster and the choke cable isn't connected yet.
