It Lives!
Started bolting stuff on tonight and before I knew it I was out of parts.

Damn,this T is easy to work on! Put the damper on 32 degrees and set the distributor so the reluctor tooth was a hair past the pickup coil,hit the button and Bam!

she's running.

Set a big fan in front and ran it for 20 minutes at 2000-2500 so the lobes stay on the cam(outer springs only),then slowed it down to a 900 rpm idle,and :beer:...it idles,as Potter would say."like a farm tractor". lol Well,maybe not quite,but this 263 at .050 solid cam on a 112 advanced 6 idles better than the 248 at .050 hydraulic on 108 advanced 4. 'Course I do have 11.5 compression now instead of 8.6 :mischievous:
Going to warm it up again and set the valves tomorrow after I put the inner springs in,and if the RAIN stays away Saturday I'll go try it at the track.I'm taking along a broom and a couple buckets to bring the motor home in.
Doesn't
sound any faster than the other motor....wonder what she'll do ??? :scratchchin:
