FINAL PREPARATIONS FOR START-UP

The moment we have all been waiting for is only a few hours away.  The electrical connections have been made and checked, the oil pressure and water temperature gauges have been installed and the cooling system has been charged and checked for leaks.   Also the electric auxiliary cooling fan has been fitted and is fully operational.
The Weber dcoe carburetor has been rebuilt and properly fitted to the intake manifold.  Inline fuel filters have been installed between the fuel tank and fuel pump and between the pump and carburetor.  












Now, all that remains is the addition of the necessary lubricants in the engine, transmission and rear axle.  We will use an oil priming system to charge all the moving parts inside the engine before the engine is started for the first time.  This greatly reduces engine wear.










Stay tuned...

PS  Merry Christmas to all...
