Running good now with fuel injection and computer controlled ignition.
Here it is finally running more or less smooth. The only bad thing about it is there is no exhaust on it to speak of and it is very loud. The sound file if you can hear it playing is from a tape player about 50ft away from the car 🙂 I had it running before but it was only running on half of the cylinders and was not that loud really. Now that it runs on all of them more or less it is way louder. I think the #1 cylinder isn’t getting any fire. I checked it and it seems like the intake valve isn’t opening at all on it so it is either a worn down cam or a clogged up or bad lifter. I don’t think I will bother with it for now and just wait and see how it does and maybe put a new cam in it this fall and fix all of its problems at once. but for now it is running smoothly and not a bit of trouble running as long as anyone within a few hundred feet has ear plugs in. The fun part is going to be driving it to the muffler shop like this when it is time for a muffler to be put on.
Next thing I need to do is to clean up the wiring on the engine and mount the computer somewhere safe, once I get that done I only need to wire the lights and a few million little details and I should have a complete and running car.
