318 Magnum first fire...timing?

The Saga Continues...

So I tried a few more things with the Pertronix Ignition. Charged my battery. Ensured it was over 12v, but for some reason I could only get 11.x at the coil. Wouldn't start. It would only burp like it wanted to start every time I let off the key from cranking.

I went and got a new points set, condenser, and ballast resistor. Got a feeler gauge and set the point to .020. Dropped in the distributor. Hooked up the battery and cranked. I barely touched the key and WHAP! Got the first start!!!



That was about the only highlight. I only ended up running it for a total time of about 10 minutes. It appears the head or intake manifold is leaking (aside from the video my oil is really foamy and seems like it has been mixed with coolant).



Also, my transmission is leaking fluid as fast as you can pour it in it seems like. It's leaking out of the bottom of the bellhousing where the dust shield is. The transmission was supposed to have all new seals put in. I don't know what's happening.

1 step forward and 8 steps backwards.
