Changed the oil, changed the plugs, primed the oil pump last night.
I pulled the valve covers and everything looked like new. No rust, corrosion anywhere.
I messed up the timing when I removed the distributor so that took me a while to get straight.
(I'm not super familiar with these old school engines)
It started up pretty well. Doesn't quite want to idle. Need to check the static timing with a light then adjust the idle if needed.
Since I know the engine is good, Ill go ahead and pull it and the trans so I can work on the suspension next.
