Typical Scenario : Engine has been setting for a year.
1-Pull the distributer….and spin the pump with an aftermarket oil shaft tool. Note:351w CCW rotation.
2-Pull the coil wire….(and ground it ???) please explain how & why?
3-Pull the plugs…. and spin the engine….4-5 revolutions.
4-Put all back to running order….and (maybe give it a squirt of starter spray down the carb to help wake it up).
5-Start engine….maintain at 1,500 RPM for 20-40 seconds.
For solid lifters….always best to do above procedure or invest in a pre-lube device.
Could someone elaborate on step #2..... with and without MSD? tx
