Shell Valley build

[RJCCOBRA]

It's alive!!! Well, today we we're finally able to fire up the Shell Valley. We had a few coolant leaks, which for the most part were solved by tightening up some hose clamps. The one leak we weren't able to resolve was a small leak in the diver's side radiator tank. We'll be taking the radiator back to the radiator shop tomorrow to have them repair their previous repair. The only other issue was with the ignition. I had an Accel billet distributor that I was using with a MSD 6AL box. I had disabled the internal module in the Accel distributor (it had been fried), and I was just using the distributor's magnetic pickup. Well, I believed the the Accel schematic and hooked it up to the 6AL box accordingly. We could get the engine started, but we couldn't get the engine to run right, nor could we get it timed. I then reversed the leads from the distributor's magnetic pickup and the engine ran smooth, and we were able to get it timed. Anyway, as soon as we get the radiator back in it, we'll be able to get it off of Buddy's lift and start on the body work.
