Pulled the Mess that was my Timing Chain....

Thank for you the PM, I really appreciate the offer and may hit you up on that later. But.....


IT'S RUNNING!


I knew it was going to be something cheap and stupid, and it was; the condenser on my distributor went bad. A $10 part from the parts store down the street, hook it up, and turned the key. Immediately it responded with all cylinders firing, revving up strong and such sweet music to my ears! We broke in the camshaft for a good 15-20 minutes, with no ill sounds (save for the power steering fluid, which was not filled back up and was boiling. In the process of flushing it as I let the engine cool down.) I adjusted the valves slightly just to make them all uniform and while it was hot just to triple check. Now I'm changing out the oil, checking out timing, and getting ready to DRIVE home!!
