Yeah, it runs. With the muffler on I was able to rev it up some. This engine really has some nuts. The boost gauge went up to maybe 2, no more than 3 PSI and this thing was obviously pushing some serious horse power. Yeah, I do have to get this thing into a car. I spent some time this morning eliminating some wires from the harness that I don't need for things like air conditioning and automatic transmission but, I am having trouble timing it. From what I understand I should be at 15 degrees BTDC. When I turn the CAS with a timing light on the pully, I can't turn it far enough to get it where it should be unless I remove the bolt that holds the CAS to the block and that ain't right. I pulled the vavle cover off (for the 97th time) and turned the CAS one tooth but then I still couldn't get the pointer to the correct mark.
