From that limited angle the carb looks like a a rebuilt Autolite 1100. Parts are missing. What distributor is in the engine? Stock specs call for 5 degrees initial advance. Check to make sure the vacuum line is hooked up and that the vacuum advance is not sticking.
How do the plugs look? They will be oily from what you added for the compression check but under the recent oil coating. The red color on the springs looks like someone went wild with a red can of Krylon and missed the valve cover. Any other signs of red
spray paint?
Are you running it with the valve cover removed? If so, how long did it take for oil to reach the #1 rocker arms?
Adios, David
Stock distributor as far as I can tell, vacuum is now hooked up. Plugs that came with the engine were oily, I replaced with the ones from 170.
Yep paint Is just overspray
I did initially have cover off, reinstalled before I got it running.
Yea David I live about a half hour outside of bismarck, I have a sister living up in Grafton outside of grand forks, heading that way in April.
Ags and bubba I believe I got the linkage figured out, there was two rods, did not have a use for the second, don't have a place for it so replace with a bolt for now.
Thanks wsa I didn't check valve seals I think they are ok though.
Be Ron co I do have a Filter to put on, also not sure I'll be getting to a vacuum check for some time, thanks.
Thanks for stopping by and comments darrell
