Default Start up

Start up of the Ford 302 in Harrison #80 was achieved today. Afer 24 hrs spend tracking down a missing ground wire (with all kinds of electrical and intellectual self doubt) , suddenly there was that off beat throb of the motor (major thanks to Geof and Les). It idles well but no oil pressure gauge or water temp yet, but I need to correct a couple of connections to the harness there I suspect. Then to set the timing with the strobe light more precisely and re-fit the dash.

The immobilizer system also works and there may be a short test drive in the offing this weekend!

PS Forgot the video, but I can do it on the weekend, now that the script is writtten...
