Well I am very close to sending my car to the painter but before I send it, I would love to start the motor. This thing has been sitting in my garage while I pre-fit / plan for 5 months and I want to hear some noise. I have built the body bunk and everything has been removed except a few items(less than a days work for the remaining items). Question: Am I missing anything before I start the motor and is the connections done right without the harness? I would love to hear this thing run before I disconnect the fuel system and remove the tank. Am I being stupid here?
1: MSD Red power lead to battery side on Solenoid.
2: MSD Thin Red wire to key switch on IGN terminal.
3: MSD to Magnetic pickup on distributor.
4: MSD to coil Black (-) and Orange (+)
5: Key Switch Batt terminal to Solenoid battery side (power to switch)
6: Key Switch ST terminal to (S) terminal on Solenoid to engage starter
7: Key Switch IGN terminal to (I) terminal on Solenoid
Solenoid is mounted to frame in the traditional location. Oil pressure gauge, water temp gauge and oil filter(Filter is full of oil) lines has been connected to motor. Fuel system and radiator plumbed (distilled with 70/30 mix)
Motor is a SA 452Super FE and has been bench ran at SA and I spoke to Lyle Friday about wanting to start the motor. I will have 2 fans in front of the car before starting it. I would love to hear this thing run if for only a short period (I need my fix).
Note: I have done some research at the following links.
