Default Initial Startup After Mods(vid)
Well as many of you know I've spent the winter doing some mods on the old '84. To recap what I've done:

-port the intake
-add some '113 heads and hand port them
-1.6 Harland Sharp roller rockers
-New cam: http://www.compcams.com/Cam_Specs/Ca...x?csid=92&sb=2
-TPIS headers (used)
-True dual exhaust



Now I need to change the oil and filter and add the inner valve springs. It also looks like I need to change a couple of wires, including a spark plug wire(#7) got a little hot on the rear drivers side wiring. I'm just glad it started up on the first try!

Drinks are on me!

Well done .......well done. You always get a little worried from the initial startup with smoke coming from the engine area. Sounds good, it should move!!
