Haha! Yeah! The engine sat for so long I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. So I rev it higher and faster. Once it's on the ground I get to put a real load on it. That'll be the first real test. I remember when this engine was in the '86 it made power but gave off blue smoke. I figured valve seals would be in order, but I haven't seen any blue smoke. Today was low 70's and the exhaust looks "normal". There is exhaust smoke but it's not black or blue. It looks like what you would see coming out of the car in front of you on a cold day. I am very pleased with how it's idling after the ignition timing adjustment. Tomorrow I have a list of things to button up before I take it on a short test drive. I am stoked!!
