Will it Run? (Live)

awesome. sounds great, just the way it's suppose to
I was wondering, did the books arrive and the other things

The z-bar from a ‘59-‘64 Chevy full size car should be the same since they’re all X-Frame cars. Repros are sold on EBay.

Excellent Video Jason :) also hope that motor keeps going strong 💪 and run too!

It's alive! Glad you got it running. Glad you are ditching the headers and running the rams horns. Much more suited for that car.

Heck yeah Jason, got it figured out and seems to run and sounds good 👍👍

RIGHT ON! RIGHT ON! IF IT ISN'T ONETHING, THEN IT'S ANOTHER! THE SOUND OF A NEW MOTOR, ALWAYS BRINGS A SMILE. NOW JUST TAKE YOUR TIME WITH THE REST. GOOD LUCK! ADIOS....

Wow it's about time you got it turn the alarm off in your head and you finally got it done without trying😂😂😂😂😂😂

Hello

A little timing on the distributor an you'll have it

Great job. Sticking to it !!!

Perseverance does it every time

Dam missed it live . Sorry buddy , was fill in trim ho,es in my new used fender . New welder sel teaching . But I’ll getter done

Zip tie yer wires so there off the headers, I think timing is off. I’ve never heard of bringing it to dots at 12, then dump in distributor , didn’t to dot on crank , cam , install distributor, with rotor pointing at number one that will put it at 0 dwell. Then move distributor. To 8 degrees before top dead center . Give it a go buddy , and bolt yer mufflers on to yer headers temp to quiet it down , and you could run for 5 mins with out dist. Plus you may have to run it for 20 mins to break in cam if it’s new, also look for a vacuum leak that’s what it sounds like to me

And Jason , I just picked up a set of 461’s , 2.02 /1.60. 64 cc heads should give me 10-2-1 compression 355 350 bored 30 over

Remember to replace rear seal on trans so it won’t leak there like 5 bucks

Get a pilot crank bushings there cheap also ya need it when ya go from auto to std shift , as yer motor was probably in a ar with automatic . So you’ll need crank bushings there

I’m in Washington , wish you were closer , as we could getter movin

Nice move using ram horns , headers blow gaskets constantly , you get those ram horns hooked up ya can almost get full exhaust over the counter at Oriellys . If not jc Whitney cheapest way for full exhaust

ITS ALIVE !!!!!! LETS HOPE NO WATER GOES BACK INTO THE OIL PAN ONCE THE RADIATOR IS CONECTED.

I HEARD THAT ENGINE ROAR TO LIFE! HUGE CONGRATS JASON!!!

Glad to hear it run 😊

Fair play jason. It is alive at last. Hi from Birmingham England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Its dot to dot , then put in distributor in at time. Set timing at 8 to 10 degrees . Never have heard of rotating to 12 clock then putting in distributor.

Glad to hear everything fire up

Now let's get it in the car😊

I like the sound of open headers

It runs that's great news,now you got yourself a motor to drop in the 59 I bet you're happy.

When are you going to work on that rat rod that's outside

Awesome Jason

Great to see got it up and running 👍🏼🎉

Awesome to hear the engine roar!! I love it can't wait to see it driving.

HEY !!! TURN THAT NOISY THING OFF !!! I'M TRYIN' TO SLEEP OVER HERE !!! ✌️🤣👍 Congrats Jason !

I missed the live feed, but I am excited to hear the engine run! I know you're busy there on the homestead getting ready for winter, but I hope you can find time to continue working on the El Camino. We want to see you driving the '59! 🙂

I knew it would run !

Sounds great awesome Jason I can’t wait to see this car all done and put together and running at the junction city car cruise next year I hope to be there too and see your 1959 Chevy El Camino there

Cool that’s awesome it runs 😊

There's about a million steps to build an engine and the smallest of errors screws with you! Even pros will make an error. It sure feels good when you get it all going right!

Congratulation !!!!! You finally made running and made you satisfied for running thumb up
