40. Getting Closer

Although it hasn't run in over 8 years, getting close to firing the motor. Last night I pulled all the old spark plugs, replaced the oil and filter (pre-fill the filter), lubed the cylinders with mystery oil and primed the oil pump with a special tool I found online. Put some new Bosh Platinum 4212's in and re-stabbed the distributor.







OIL PUMP PRIMER TOOL 1/4 Hex FORD Engine 289 302 390 428
Motor has new harmonic balancer, Gates performance 43272P water pump, alternator, fan, and plug wires/distributor cap. Went to install a new TFI module and realized that a special tool was needed that I didn't have so we'll find out tomorrow if the old one is still any good.
