Engine first start

[DBM1963]

I have 24 spark plugs, 6 carburetor gaskets, zero jets and a partridge in a pear tree

Oh and i also have no idea how to plug the little titty on my thermostat housing

Stick your dick in it.

So if i were to say i didn't expect to have the cooling system hooked up (wiring issue) you'd tell me not to run it?

Fuck that . Fire it up and watch temp gauge, don’t be reving it up . Just let it run. You will have so much motivation you will finish it up.

I'll be stiff for days. Trying to roll over at night I'll have a kickstand

I was thinking about live streaming, but realized my buddy and i shouting "piece of shit cock sucking nigger" when we get a no fire wouldn't be the best idea

I KNEW IT...............

Fill it with oil and fire that bitch up, if you want to break-in the neighbors fire it up at 2am, then when you fire it during the day they better not bitch.

The fire extinguisher wasn't a joke. You should have one. Valve cover leak onto the headers is all it takes....

Or oil pressure gauge hose bursts.... just sayin

Yep.
Even if I'm just firing up an engine that's been sitting for a bit I place every extinguisher I own around the car.

Get stated value insurance on it

Pull the coil wire & crank it to make sure you have oil pressure. Verify plug wire routing, make sure you have spark. Double check dissy isn't in 180 degrees out. Check for fuel flow from elect pump & return to tank if you have. Check water pump flow, get all the air out. Make sure fan- if electric is wired right & will come on. I'd wire a bypass switch if you don't already have one.

I learned how to get an engine in time, and use a piston stop in the 70's and never looked back. I can't believe guys still fuck with "180 out"

 

[kilowattkid]

I didn't intend on doing any of that actually

You've got 2 weeks, get that cooling system completed.

It's on the list but the air fuel spark is my focus currently

 

[Mixed up]

Like said have more eyes looking for leaks check oil pressure first then watch temp .it always exciting to hear the engine the first time GOOD LUCK

I give up..tried to tell him what needs to happen.

I keep a fire gallon bucket of water ready to throw, it has come in handy, lol. Actually it has a couple purposes, I quench parts that were just welded, before I put in a sink it I washed my hands with it.

^ Aside from the awesomeness, you motivated me to google how to post a video starting at a specific time.

 

[89 Fox 427]

What's the best way to prime the fuel system, and cooling system before i fire it up?
