She lives! …again.
18 Mar
Finally found some free time to get out to the garage. …ended up having to take a week long vacation with nothing planned. It poured all day but we got her running.
My friends Travis and Bryan came by to help with the timing from the ground up. I was right, the dizzy spun so we had to pull it out completely, reset the oil pump gear, replace the rotor, re-gap the points and plugs then reassemble correctly, time with a light and adjust idle at the carburetor. We dialed everything in 100 times better than it ever has been since I, and I would imagine the previous owner, have owned it.
The rain let up for a bit so we took her out for a spin around the park then grabbed our other cars and went for a celebratory burger and beer. Good times!
