February 7, 20196 yr comment_567605 Forget the dash... Are those un-rusted original frame rails? Don't drive it like you stole it. You totally stole it. Just don't drive it like that. It'll give it away. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/61554-ive-been-looking-for-a-project/?&page=2#findComment-567605 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody want to buy these rims and tires, or trade for a nice set of rims? I am interested in the stock wheels, PM me with a price. I have some 14" turbines and slots if that is what you were thinking of for "era" wheels.

February 12, 20196 yr Author comment_568082 I’m ready to turn it over now. My fuel tank is out. Can I connect a fuel line to the inline fuel filter and drop it in a can of gas? Bad idea, good? Also on the Oil spray bar, can I leave the valve cover off and check the spray? Or will that be a big mess?

You will have oil every where without the valve cover!

February 12, 20196 yr comment_568107 Charles is correct. You will have oil everywhere when you start it without the valve cover, IF it's not plugged up. But, IMO, it's a good idea to visually check the spray pattern to be sure the cam is getting oiled. I had an oil tube that was gunked up internally and sprayed little oil. It had to be cleaned out with lacquer thinner and the holes cleaned with a torch tip cleaner before it would oil properly.

February 12, 20196 yr comment_568112 One thing you can do is get it to start for a few seconds to get oil pressure. Cut it off then remove the valve cover, disable the ignition and turn the motor with the starter to verify the oil spray bar flow Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/61554-ive-been-looking-for-a-project/?&page=2#findComment-568112 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea there was a return. I can probably figure it out. I”m assuming it’s a line from the engine back to the tank. But why? What fuel is returned.
