She runs, and sounds damn healthy! 🍺

Adjusted the valves, got the idle as low as we could for now, and started to install the shifter. We had a problem getting fuel to the carb, but found my dad had the inlet/outlet on the fuel pump switched lol. Fixed that and she ran fine. 🆒

Have an oil leak I need to take care of on the oil pan, and a tranny leak from the cooling lines. Both should be easy fixes, but need adressed soon. I still need to bolt the valve covers down, and some other small things, but shes getting there!

Just hope there isnt anything wrong with this tranny, I bought the TH400 for $200. It had a stock rebuild and shift kit done to it in 01’, and the guy never used it. I bought it a few months ago, and got the receipts of how much he paid to get it done. I was told its ok the tranny sat that long, but we’ll see. :eek4: Other than that I still need to find my speedo cable lol.
