Ok..... A little history on the Money Pit. I bought this about 10 days ago not running. The owner said it was running one day and would not start the next morning. He replaced the distributor and distributor cap, coil, wires, plugs and still would not start. It had no spark nothing.... He gave up on it. He also told me it had a slight valve train noise.

So fast Forward to now. I ordered an igniter because that was the only thing that was not replaced in the ignition system. Well that did not work. So more troubleshooting. Well i found out it had a bad NEW Coil from Autozone. Well swapped it out and BINGO started first try. Well the slight valve train noise was a ROD Knock and it was not slight....LOL

Time for a rebuild.


Here is a pic of the new money pit.

 

I am going to start this project tomorrow morning when i get off from work.... I will keep a running tab on the complete rebuild and post here.
I will be asking for advise during this process also.

First thing:
1. Synthetic Oil... What do you think about it after the initial break in period or should I start using it from day 1?


Thanks
Chris....
