Initial Timing for 416 Stroker startup

Water hose is a must, the rad will get hot and the hose will cool it off. I like pouring some fuel right down the throat of the carb--after the fuel bowls are filled up. Engine should fire in seconds on the first crank. Having a timing light hook up and ready to check the timing. Oh wear some gloves so you can turn the dist to adjust the timing and not get zap. Once pretty close tighten the dist tightly and let it run---I broke my cam in for 40 mins...I think the neighbors hated me that afternoon, lol

I pushed the car out of the garage before starting it and boy did the engine bay smoke the first 5 mins.
