Default Ford 400 first start. engine stand

This is something for people who like a sonata in Bminor ...

had trouble with distributor, in the end we brought a points distributor to machine shop with the shaft and gear from the 351/400 distributor that didn't work.

The carb is only running on accell pump. so we swapped it with my 570 at a later stage while we clean the other. Have made a hole in radiator with fan earlier that day, so attached a few bungies and have to fix the rad no for next start ... :-)

gonna be fun ... finally working

Good going. Considering it cranked so slowly and fired like that, I would be impressed. Love the laughter at the end.

Need more video!!!
