Default Engine running!

The engine fired up and runs! Just a few cranks to get fuel up to pressure. Oil pressure came right up, too. Not well as it's not tuned up, yet. Running far too rich, but that'll come.

Wrapping up the re-assembly. The air pump was removed and a 4L-210 belt fits snugly between the crank pulley and the fan.

To make the exhaust fit the '85 manifolds, I cut the right-side tube just in front of the muffler. The flanges line up well except are separated by ~4" straight fore/aft. Thinking poorly, cutting in the straight part ahead of the muffler makes the splice fairly easy but the new pipe position covers the bolts on the lower bellhousing. When I get it welded up, I'm going to have that repaired and make the extension splice near the manifold flange.

I'm using Valvoline VR1 50 weight for the break-in. I think it's the best oil that's easily available and not too pricey at $5/qt.

Otherwise, just bolting things in and up.
