Yes Crate Motor I was going to post it on HAMB but figured I would be "put up a cross" as they sometimes have a different sense of humor!

The tires on this car are also WIDE WHITE WALLS... It is hard to see them as the sidewalls are so low profile!

I checked the camshaft and it looks ok. The roll pin was sheered on the oil pump drive housing. I took apart and freed up the dist. today. The gear is worn on the drive but it rotates with the cam. I will put it back together and hope for the best. I did check compression and #1 has none the rest are low. I just want to hear it run for now. I'll let you all know more when I know more!

I got the engine running. The oil pump drive gear is worn enough that at times will skip a tooth. The cam gear doesn't seem to have any wear.
I just wanted to hear it run for now. It started so fast it amazed me! That's all for now!

Good Job.
I know hearing it fire and run for the first time put a smile on your face that could not be wiped off with a wood file.
