Re: shoebox starting issues
I changed the oil and filter, then I cleaned the plugs. Put some oil in the cylinders and cranked it a few times before putting the plugs back in. Oiled the distributor and checked to make sure all...

Weather has been a bit nasty around here, but finally got back to the car...

Re: shoebox starting issues
Thanks JSeery. I've been reading a lot of great comments about CharlieNY on this site and have thought that having him do my rebuilds would be well worth the costs.
